Since R2024b

    Description

    A GeneralAviation object contains a target specification for a general aviation aircraft. You can use the GeneralAviation object as an input to multiSensorTargetTracker. The target specification defines the state convention for trackers initialized with it. For GeneralAviation, the output state convention is: [x;vx;y;vy;z;vz], where:

    • x, y, and z represent the x-, y-, and z-coordinates in meters.

    • vx, vy, and vz represent the velocity components in different directions in meters per second.

    Creation

    To create a GeneralAviation object, use the trackerTargetSpec function with the "aerospace", "aircraft", and "general-aviation" input arguments. For example:

    spec = trackerTargetSpec("aerospace","aircraft","general-aviation")

    Data Types: single | double

    Maximum vertical speed of the target, specified as a positive scalar. Units are in meters per second.

    Example: 12

    Data Types: single | double

    Maximum horizontal acceleration of the target, specified as a positive scalar. Units are in meters per second squared.
