azimuth error azimuth error Radar bearing error due to horizontal refraction. azimuth marker Scale used on PPI display to indicate bearing, including electronically generated references when display is offset from central position. azimuth stabilized PPI display which does not rotate, despite changes in heading of vehicle. AZM Azimuth. Azusa az-ran, azran General term for target tracking or navigational fixing by means of azimuth and range; more commonly called Rθ or rho-theta. AZRN Azimuth range. Azusa C-band tracking system operating on short baseline and giving continuous signals of two direction cosines plus slant range (and thus giving 3-D fix and instantaneous velocity). From Azusa, Calif. 82
