High-resolution methods for passive geolocation and navigation

Abstract

We propose to design effective methods of signal processing for electromagnetic source geolocation and platform navigation, from passive array waveform data in the radar wavelengths. This proposal is both (i) a feasibility study for the scale of positioning accuracy (in meters) achievable as a function of the various sources of error in the model and the data; and (ii) a theoretical analysis of the scalings of the error bound as a function of the key parameters. The eventual goal is the design of algorithms with strong performance guarantees. To handle the increased complexity of signals in adversarial situations, we also make the case that the processing toolbox should include a powerful new technique, interferometric inversion.
