System and method for determining a position of an object using output from a radar system

An apparatus for determining a position of an object using output from a radar system mounted on a body, comprising:

• converting means for inputting a velocity vector of said body, and for converting said velocity vector into a parameter representing a relationship between said body and said object;
• and
• determining means for inputting a summation output associated with said object from said radar system, for inputting one of an azimuth difference and an elevation difference associated with said object from said radar system, and for determining a position of said object from said summation output, said input one of said azimuth difference and said elevation difference, and said parameter.

An apparatus for determining a position of an object using output from a radar system mounted on a body, comprising:

• converting means for inputting a velocity vector of said body, for inputting a summation output associated with said object from said radar system, for inputting one of an azimuth difference and an elevation difference associated with said object from said radar system, and for converting said velocity vector into one of said azimuth difference and said elevation difference not input based on a doppler frequency of a range-doppler cell containing said object;
• and
• determining means for determining a position of said object from said summation output, said input one of said azimuth difference and said elevation difference, and said one of said azimuth difference and said elevation difference converted from said velocity vector.

An system for determining a target position, comprising:

• a radar system mounted on a body which produces a summation output, an elevation difference and an azimuth difference corresponding to an object;
• converting means for inputting a velocity vector of said body, and for converting said velocity vector into a parameter representing a relationship between said body and said object;
• determining means for inputting said summation output from said radar system, for inputting one of said azimuth difference and said elevation difference from said radar system, and for determining a position of said object from said summation output, said input one of said azimuth difference and said elevation difference, and said parameter.
