Transmit APC velocities with ECEF X, Y, Z components (m/s) in last dimension

rcv(…, 3) array_like

Receive APC positions with ECEF X, Y, Z components (m) in last dimension

vrcv(…, 3) array_like

Receive APC velocities with ECEF X, Y, Z components (m/s) in last dimension

pt(…, 3) array_like

Fixed scene point position with ECEF X, Y, Z components (m) in last dimension.

ueast, unor, uup(…, 3) array_like

Unit vectors for the East, North, Up coordinate frame, respectively, with origin at pt. The basis vectors are in ECEF coordinates with X, Y, Z components (m) in last dimension.
