Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving radar angular resolution. Radar operations in one or more nodes may be controlled, with the controlling including applying one or more measures for improving radar angular resolution for at least one radar deployed on one of the one or more nodes, with the improving of radar angular resolution entailing increasing radar angular resolution for the at least one radar relative to an identical radar operated in identical conditions. The one or more measures comprise fusing radar data with data from other data sources, movement of radar platforms, use of multiple radars for triangulation, use of multiple nodes moving in formation, and creating features or distortions of antenna beams. The one or more nodes may be aerial drones.

Abstract: A system for basing drones is described. A network of geographically diverse hangars provides storage and charging locations as well as backhaul communications infrastructure and video monitoring. As drones are needed, a central command point tasks an available drone, which may or may not already be located in proximity to a target. If additional drones are needed, drones can be flown to the area of interest and continuous coverage provided by charging drones while an active drone is conducting the mission, then rotating charged drones into the active mission. Structures for the hangars, the overall system, and methods of operation are described.
