  2. Radar beacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_beacon

    Radar beacon. Racon signal as seen on a radar screen. This beacon receives using sidelobe suppression and transmits the letter "Q" in Morse code near Boston Harbor (Nahant) 17 January 1985. Radar beacon (short: racon) is – according to article 1.103 of the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) ITU Radio Regulations (RR) [1 ...

  3. Laser designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_designator

    A laser designator is a laser light source which is used to designate a target. Laser designators provide targeting for laser-guided bombs, missiles, or precision artillery munitions, such as the Paveway series of bombs, AGM-114 Hellfire, or the M712 Copperhead round, respectively. When a target is marked by a designator, the beam is invisible ...

  4. Look-down/shoot-down - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-down/shoot-down

    Look-down/shoot-down radars have been enhanced with electronic programs that process the radar image and search for moving objects, which are detected by looking for Doppler shifts in the radar return. See moving target indication. The radar removes all stationary objects (e.g. the ground and buildings) from the display and shows only moving ...

    RTX Corporation, formerly Raytheon Technologies Corporation, is an American multinational aerospace and defense conglomerate headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.It is one of the largest aerospace and defense manufacturers in the world by revenue and market capitalization, as well as one of the largest providers of intelligence services.

  6. Cone tracing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_tracing

    The second treats an accurate pyramidal beam through the pixel and along a complex path, but it only works for polyhedrical shapes. Cone tracing solves certain problems related to sampling and aliasing, which can plague conventional ray tracing. However, cone tracing creates a host of problems of its own. For example, just intersecting a cone ...

  7. UIC identification marking for tractive stock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UIC_identification_marking...

    The UIC identification marking for tractive stock is a standard for identifying train stock like locomotives that supply tractive force primarily in Europe. Since the beginning of 2007 locomotives or other traction units in Europe have been given a 12-digit number. Vehicle numbering is now governed by the Intergovernmental Organisation for ...

D-EAAA to D-EZZZ for single-engine aircraft up to 2 t MTOW. D-FAAA to D-FZZZ for single-engine aircraft from to 2–5.7 t MTOW.

  10. Ray-tracing hardware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray-tracing_hardware

    The ray tracing algorithm solves the rendering problem in a different way. In each step, it finds all intersections of a ray with a set of relevant primitives of the scene. Both approaches have their own benefits and drawbacks. Rasterization can be performed using devices based on a stream computing model, one triangle at the time, and access ...
