ABSTRACT:
A method to passively locate an emitter using two aircraft to form a large baseline interferometer. The basic two element (two aircraft or helicopters) large baseline interferometer includes self-calibration and allows for various configurations for geo-location of ground-based emitters. The two aircraft large baseline interferometer can measure phase difference of arrival (PDOA) to very precisely locate the emitter in angle. Moving emitters can also be located and tracked using the method of the invention with greater accuracy than can be achieved from a single platform.
