Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for generating an on-demand distributed aperture by mechanical articulation. In some aspects, a process can include steps for determining a location of an autonomous vehicle, determining whether a maneuver requires long range detections or medium range detections based on the location of the autonomous vehicle, positioning at least two articulated radars based on the determining of whether the maneuver requires long range detections or medium range detections, and enabling a mode of resolution based on the positioning of the at least two articulated radars and by utilizing a static radar. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
