A Coordinate Transformation Problem in Air Traffic Control

Author: Helen Wang


This article describes a coordinate transformation problem that arose while I was working in the summer of 1978 a t Raytheon on the computer software for an airtraffic control radar system for West Germany. The key to solving the problem was a 3x3 orthogonal matrix representing a rotation.
