A Method and System for Emitter Identification Using Transmission Signatures is disclosed. Also disclosed is a system that is able to take in the undemodulated IF of the receiver and perform identification algorithms on that data. The system is further able to perform these functions in real-time and present the operator with an intelligent evaluation as to the identification of an emitter, or the presence of a new emitter. Still further, the system is capable of being fully automated to reduce the processing time to react to the results of the emitter identification. Furthermore, the present invention can feasibly remotely control the emitter identification system over a network and collect the same information from similar systems. In this way, a far more efficient System can be achieved wherein emitters can be determined, tracked, or monitored more quickly from a centralized command facility.
An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying frequency, amplitude and geolocation information provided by a local intelligence system is provided comprising: a plot of radio frequency (RF) versus amplitude, and a map indicating location of RF signals. The intelligence system has a front end to generate digital data based on received RF signals, a post processing stage to process the digital data, and a geolocation module to prevent the post-processing stage from processing a first portion of the digital data that corresponds to RF signals originating from a geographic location other than a predetermined geographic location. The GUI is updated continuously in near real time. Methods of operating the GUI are also provided.
The invention is process for tracking a moving targeted vehicle from a remote sensor platform comprising the steps of 1) tracking the targeted vehicle and periodically recording its radar signature until its identity becomes ambiguous, 2) tracking the target after it has left its ambiguous state and periodically recording its radar signature; and 3) comparing the recorded radar signatures prior to the targeted vehicle becoming ambiguous to the recorded radar signature taken after the targeted vehicle has left its ambiguous state and determining that the targeted vehicle now tracked is the same as the targeted vehicle being tracked prior to becoming ambiguous.
The invention generally relates to the field of computer software particularly to an improved method of providing aircrew decision aids for use in determining the optimum placement of an Electronic Attack (EA) aircraft. The core of the invention is a software program that will dynamically provide the EA flight crew situational awareness regarding a threat emitter's coverage relative to the position of the EA aircraft and to the position of protected entities (PE). The software program generates information to provide visual cues representing a Jam Acceptability Region (JAR) contour and a Jam Assessment Strobe (JAS) for display via designated aircraft cockpit processors and devices. The JAR and JAS will aid the EA aircrew in assessing the effectiveness of a given jamming approach.

The core of the invention is a software program that will dynamically provide the EA flight crew situational awareness regarding a threat emitter's coverage relative to the position of the EA aircraft and to the position of any number of protected entities (PE). The software program generates information to provide visual cues representing a Jam Acceptability Region (JAR) contour, a Jam Assessment Strobe (JAS) and text for display on a number of flexibly configurable display formats posted on display units. The JAR and JAS graphics and text will aid the EA aircrew in rapidly assessing the effectiveness of a given jamming approach.
