**Angular resolution is defined as how far apart two objects need to be (in degrees) for them to be detected as different/separate objects. It is different from ‘Angular Accuracy’ which is how accurately the angle of an object is detected.
***Max distance is calculated only at the zero degree bore sight, performance decreases as targets move to the side angles
