azimuth to reference point
1Azimuth — (Audio IPA|lang=US English|en us azimuth.ogg|ˈæzɪməθ) is a mathematical concept defined as the angle, usually measured in degrees (°), between a reference plane and a point. This concept is used in many practical applications including navigation …
2azimuth resolution — The ability of radar equipment to separate two reflectors at similar ranges but different bearings from a reference point. In the first figure, the distant objects subtend a very small angle and they appear as one big blip or target on radar… …
3azimuth resolution — The ability of radar equipment to separate two reflectors at similar ranges but different bearings from a reference point. Normally the minimum separation distance between the reflectors is quoted and expressed as the angle subtended by the… …
4azimuth — i. A direction expressed as a horizontal angle, usually in degrees, measured clockwise from a reference datum or direction, usually north. The azimuth will be a true zenith, grid azimuth, magnetic azimuth, or relative azimuth, depending upon… …

6Lagrangian point — The Lagrangian points (IPA en|ləˈgreɪndʒiən, IPA fr|lagʁɑ̃ʒjɑ̃; also Lagrange point, L point, or libration point), are the five positions in an orbital configuration where a small object affected only by gravity can theoretically be stationary… …
7Directing point — A cut away drawing of a Coast Artillery battery, showing its two base and stations (upper left), the plotting room (with plotting board), and the directing point (DP) (between the two guns, at right). The directing point, on the surface of the… …
8Aiming point — In field artillery, the accuracy of indirect fire depends on the use of aiming points. In air force terminology the aiming point (or A.P.) refers to holding the intersection of the cross hairs on a bombsight when fixed at a specific target. An… …
9changeover point — The point at which an aircraft navigating on an ATS (air traffic service) route segment, defined by reference to very high frequency omnidirectional radio ranges, is expected to transfer its primary navigational reference from the facility behind …
10Bearing (navigation) — This article is about the navigational term. For other uses, see Bearing. A standard Brunton Geo compass, used commonly by geologists and surveyors to obtain a bearing in the field. In marine navigation, a bearing is the direction one object is… …
