Abstract

Implementations of a method of detecting a plurality of radio pulses may include, using a signal processor, combining at least three pulses included in radio data collected over a first time interval by a directional antenna coupled with a software defined radio coupled with a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the UAV coupled with a base station including the signal processor; determining a detected time for each of the at least three pulses in the first time interval; using the detected time for each of the at least three pulses, predicting a future time for each of at least three future pulses; and, using the software defined radio and directional antenna, listening for each of the at least three future pulses in radio data over a second time interval.
