miss distance

Second SA-4 estimated miss distance was only one hundred twenty feet.

A safe evasion from a potential midair collision depends on a maneuver to establish a "miss distance."

Due to the closure speed of the interceptor and the target, this resulted in a miss distance of 600 meters.

"Houston and JPL get a miss distance of nine thousand kilometers," Johnny said thoughtfully.

"We are checking three crucial parameters: video quality, tracking ability and fall of gunshot [missed distance after firing].

Accurate AOA is further important where the platform should preferably maneuver when dispensing decoys to increase the miss distance.

Live-firing point scores were awarded, based on the type of armament used and the linear miss distance in feet from the aim point on the target.

Miss Distance Indicator (MDI)

The much greater visual scan for the Cessna pilot results in a significantly reduced warning time, with a correspondingly reduced miss distance (i.e., more failed evasions).

Payloads of the drone are passive radar cross-section enhancer (Luneburg lens), acoustic miss distance indicator (MDI), infrared flares and smoke.

With a skilled WSO that has a "sensitive hand", this guidance method is probably the most accurate one employed today for air-dropped munitions, and has no measurable miss distance.

The Continental pilot reported the incident to the F.A.A. as a near-collision, estimating the miss distance as 100 feet vertically and the span of the DC-9's wing horizontally.

To increase accuracy, Dr. Zimmerman said, the warhead could be equipped with its own internal guidance system for the final phase of the flight, which would "bring the miss distance down" to a few yards.

This telemetry warhead is desirable since it allows for extensive analysis of the performance of the defensive missile, including miss distance information that determines if a real warhead would have damaged the target.

Because the damage effects of explosive weapons decrease with distance due to an inverse cube law, even modest improvements in accuracy (hence reduction in miss distance) enable a target to be attacked with fewer or smaller bombs.

The BIDOPS system, which scored all shots of the AIM-family missiles, incorporates a recording system in the target that senses linear missile miss distance and transmits this information to a ground receiver station.

The long-range SM-2 engagement apparently resulted in an intercept at a range of greater than 100 km from the ship, with a missile-target miss distance of 8 feet (the warhead's proximity fuse having been disabled for the purposes of the test).
