ABSTRACT:
delete-start id="REI-00001" date="20110712" ?The present inventions comprise adelete-end id="REI-00001" ?insert-start id="REI-00002" date="20110712" ?Ainsert-end id="REI-00002" ?method of estimating a minimum range for a target with respect to a first point of interest, independent of actualdelete-start id="REI-00003" date="20110712" ?,delete-end id="REI-00003" ?range to the target, comprising obtaining three bearing data points; using the three bearing data points to determine a speed contribution Vosinsert-start id="REI-00004" date="20110712" ?cos (θβ)insert-end id="REI-00004" ?of a first point of interest to a distance from a relative velocity vector over a time frame comprising t0to t0′; determining an angle θβas defined by the bearing relative to ownship's heading at the point in time of closest approach to a second point of interest; and calculating a minimum range using a predetermined formula.
