  2. Proportional navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_navigation

    It is based on the fact that two vehicles are on a collision course when their direct line-of-sight does not change direction as the range closes. PN dictates that the missile velocity vector should rotate at a rate proportional to the rotation rate of the line of sight (Line-Of-Sight rate or LOS-rate), and in the same direction.

  3. Error analysis for the Global Positioning System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_for_the...

    According to special relativity, time passes differently for objects in relative motion. That is known as kinetic time dilation: in an inertial reference frame, the faster an object moves, the slower its time appears to pass (as measured by the frame's clocks).

  4. Dead reckoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_reckoning

    The basic formula for DR is Distance = Speed x Time. An aircraft flying at 250 knots airspeed for 2 hours has flown 500 nautical miles through the air. The wind triangle is used to calculate the effects of wind on heading and airspeed to obtain a magnetic heading to steer and the speed over the ground (groundspeed).

    Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) is the latest version of Unreal Engine developed by Epic Games.It was revealed in May 2020 and officially released in April 2022. Unreal Engine 5 includes multiple upgrades and new features, including Nanite, a system that automatically adjusts the level of detail of meshes, and Lumen, a dynamic global illumination and reflections system that leverages software as well as ...

  6. Ex-meridian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex-meridian

    A line at right angles to the azimuth is drawn through the calculated position which is where the calculated latitude and the DR longitude cross. The observer is somewhere on this line. To obtain a fix (a position) this line must be crossed with another position line either from another sight or from elsewhere.

  7. Longitude by chronometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude_by_chronometer

    Time sight is a general method for determining longitude by celestial observations using a chronometer; these observations are reduced by solving the navigational triangle for meridian angle and require known values for altitude, latitude, and declination; the meridian angle is converted to local hour angle and compared with Greenwich hour angle.

  8. Intercept method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_method

    The resulting line of position (LOP) is a small segment of the circle of equal altitude, and is represented by a straight line perpendicular to the azimuth of the celestial body. When plotting the small segment of this circle on a chart it is drawn as a straight line, the resulting tiny errors are too small to be significant.

  9. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel

    Excel 2016 has 484 functions. [16] Of these, 360 existed prior to Excel 2010. Microsoft classifies these functions into 14 categories. Of the 484 current functions, 386 may be called from VBA as methods of the object "WorksheetFunction" [17] and 44 have the same names as VBA functions. [18] With the introduction of LAMBDA, Excel became Turing ...
