Geolocation of Multiple Emitters on Data Provided by ESM Sensors

Abstract

The article is focused on possible procedures of geolocating multiple radar and/or radio emitters in a determinable area of interest. The issue of geolocating only one emitter is quite complex, but geolocating multiple emitters is complex even more. In current age of a ”smart” agile and moveable air defense systems is very hard or may be even impossible to assign bearing to one specific emitter, so better or easier practice would be collect such bearings for specific type of emitter and create multiple geolocations from those. For this kind of procedure is also necessary to design an algorithm that would be able to track possible movement of emitters.
