Abstract: A proposal for the design and development of an aircraft based radio frequency emitter geo-location system to be used to mark the location of ocean deployed sonobuoys. This study will investigate a number of different emitter location techniques including TDOA, FDOA, and other hybrid geo-location techniques in order to determine optimal solution for use in operational aircraft. This proposal will investigate non-gps based solutions.
Benefits: Permit U.S. Navy to accurately locate and track deployed sonobuoys. Commercially this technology can be used for any radio sources, e.g., emergency beacons.
