Sensor Tracks

Trackable Entities​

  • Actual entities are (e.g. a missile) are entities with SensorTrackable component.
  • Other components include sensor specific data (e.g. Sensors.Radar.RadarCrossSection)

Sensor Platform​

  • A sensor platform (e.g. a ship) is a parent for multiple sensors.
  • Has a TrackCollection which holds a reference to all tracks this platform has
  • Has a SensorChildrenRef which contains a set of all sensor entities attached to this platform

Sensor​

  • A child of a platform, updates tracks

Sensor Track​

  • Owned by a TrackCollection
  • Represents the relationship between a SensorTrackable (i.e. a real thing) and a platform (i.e. what that platform knows about it)
  • Components:
    • TrackingEntities references both entities
    • LastUpdate the time any sensor last updated this track
    • RangeFromTrackingToTracked
    • WorldPositionCacheRefs references the WorldPosition of both entities
    • WorldPositionCache stores a copy of the WorldPosition of both entities
    • HasLineOfSight stores a flag indicating if a kepler body is blocking LoS
    • PositionDeviation/RangeDeviation/AngleDeviation
      • In reality we know the actual position of this tracked object, these store how much deviation from the ground truth should be added when accessing the data. Sensors generally improve one or more of these values.
