ABSTRACT:
A collision detection system and method of estimating a miss distance are provided. The collision detection system includes a sensor for sensing an object in a field of view. The sensor measures range and range rate of the object. The collision detection system further includes a controller for estimating a miss distance as a function of the measured range and range rate, without requiring a measured azimuth angle measurement.
