  • Patent number: 10830865
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for geolocation of an airborne radar emitting source. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes initializing a search grid with hypothesized emitter geolocations boxes of the grid. The method further includes refining geolocations based on calculated pulse repetition intervals of de-Dopplerized times of arrival (TOAs) of emitter pulses received at multiple collection platforms within a dwell period. A residue metric is employed to qualify candidate target geolocations based on differences between the measured TOAs and hypothesized TOAs associated with the refined geolocations. A candidate history tracks the geolocations of the candidates with the smallest residue over subsequent dwells, identifying such candidates that match locations in the history and updating counts of times the candidate has been matched. Candidates with lagging match counts are dropped from the history.
