  • Publication number: 20110181720
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for determining the location of a mobile object moving beneath an aerial vehicle. In operation, a mobile object is sensed utilizing one or more sensors coupled to an aerial vehicle. Additionally, an object signature for the mobile object is generated utilizing signals received from the one or more sensors. Furthermore, the mobile object is tracked utilizing the object signature.
