% Coarse collision probability estimate
Coarse probability estimate consisting of the integral outbound of the
tangent between a circular avoidance region and the target's position
probability density.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
Pc = CoarseProb( dR, rAvoid, sigmaU)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
Inputs:
-------
rRel (1,1) or (2,1) Magnitude of or actual relative position vector between centers
in the conjunction plane, where [x z] are along the major and
minor axes of the density envelope.
rAvoid (1) Radius of avoidance region
sigma (1,1) or (2,2) One-sigma target probability along the relative position vector
or full one-sigma probability ellipse in the conjunction plane
-------
Outputs:
--------
Pc (1,1) Coarse probability
k (1,1) Incidence index
