Disclosed herein are related to a system and a method for determining an Angle of Approach (AoA) of a device. A first device may receive a report from a second device having a plurality of ultra-wideband (UWB) devices. The report may include a plurality of values comprising an elevation component and an azimuth component of the AoA from the first device. At least some of the plurality of values may be obtained according to measurements between the plurality of UWB devices of the second devices and the at least one UWB device of the first device. The first device may determine an AoA from the second device, using the plurality of values from the report received from the second device.

A system for detection and orbit determination of Earth orbiting objects includes a first plurality of sensors including at least one first antenna. The at least one first antenna is configured to point in a stare mode to broadcast a first detection signal at an angular region centered on an equatorial plane to maximize detection of orbiting objects regardless of altitude, grade, or inclination. The first antenna may be configured to stare at a low inclination angle, and may be configured to stare at one of due east and due west along the equator.

A Time Transfer Time Reverse Mirror (TT TRM) method and system includes a radio transceiver for transmitting a series of short pulses repeatedly at a period T and for receiving from a remote node a return signal that is a retransmission of the original signal at the same period T: a clock circuit for inputting a clock signal to the transceiver: and a computer for (i) computing and generating an imaginary time-reversed signal version of the original signal, (ii) comparing the return signal with the imaginary version. (iii) computing a delay between the return signal and the imaginary version that is substantially equal to twice the time difference between the two nodes, and (iv) applying the computed delay to a clock input calibration for a desired signal. The system includes time transfer using the ionospheric reflection (refraction), producing precise synchronization among remote nodes beyond the line-of-sight and thus without necessitating GPS or communication satellites.

An HF radar system comprises a transmitting system, a receiving system, a signal processing system and a frequency management/ionospheric sounding system. The transmitting system comprises a transmitting antenna array configured to transmit a beam in a near vertical direction and a transmitting device arranged to drive the transmitting antenna array at frequencies suitable for downward refraction by the ionosphere. The receiving system comprises a receiving antenna array configured to receive returning signals from a target area returning to the receiving antenna array via refraction at the ionosphere. The signal processing system comprises a digital data processing system. The frequency management/sounding system comprises cooperating transmitting and receiving systems sending HF signals to the ionosphere and analysing the returning signals. Alternatively, the system may have a duplexed antenna array. The receiving system includes means to discriminate the returning signal produced by a helicopter, other aircraft or surface vessels.
