Abstract
Object ranging employing platforms having passive sensors to track the object moving towards the platforms. A wireless communication link enables the sharing of data between the platforms to determine the position or location of the object. The position of the object is provided in the form of closed-form function of time. A range-rate is derived from the closed-form function of time. Then, the system and method approximates a time-to-go until a collision point between the object and one of the platforms. The time-to-go is based on a ratio of range to range-rate.
