TARGETING SYSTEM FOR BISTATIC RADIO WAVE LOCALIZATION

1 . A system, comprising:

a receiver, wherein the receiver is configured to:

receive an indication regarding a radio frequency (RF) transmitted beam;

receive a scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam from a first target object; and

process the scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam using the indication.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiver is comprised in an interceptor.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the interceptor is airborne.

4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the interceptor is configured to navigate based at least in part on the scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the interceptor navigates based on following or tracking the scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam.

6 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the interceptor navigates to intercept or move within a is predefined range of the first target object.

7 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the interceptor switches to navigation based on an onboard directional radar in response to determining that the interceptor is within a predefined distance of the first target object.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the RF transmitted beam comprises an energy beam.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the energy beam comprises a beam with a carrier frequency of 2-50 GHz.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the RF transmitted beam is modulated.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the RF transmitted beam is modulated using one or more of the following: a frequency modulation, a phase modulation, an amplitude modulation, a shift modulation, a chirp modulation.

12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein a first modulation of the RF transmitted beam is directed to the first target object, and a second modulation of the RF transmitted beam is directed to a second target object.

13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the RF transmitted beam is modulated to comprise information regarding the RF transmitted beam or the first target object.

14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication includes one or more of: RF transmitted beam modulation information, a target bearing, and a target distance.

15 . The system of claim 1 , wherein processing the scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam comprises determining one or more of a relative target bearing and a relative target distance.

16 . The system of claim 1 , wherein processing the scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam comprises filtering based at least in part on Doppler analysis to isolate a signal from the first target object.

17 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiver has a field of view between 30 degrees and 60 degrees.

18 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive, via a communication channel established with a transmitter associated with transmission of the RF transmitted beam, an indication of information regarding the RF transmitted beam or the first target object.

19 . A method, comprising:

receiving, by a receiver, an indication regarding a radio frequency (RF) transmitted beam;

receiving a scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam from a first target object; and

processing the scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam using the indication.

20 . A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving, by a receiver, an indication regarding a radio frequency (RF) transmitted beam;

receiving a scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam from a first target object; and

processing the scattered reflection of the RF transmitted beam using the indication.
