Abstract
A cellular radar system is disclosed for detecting and tracking objects in a surveillance area that is divided into cells. Each cell is scanned by at least two radars to produce two (or more) respective datastreams for the cell. Orbiting unmanned air vehicles can be used as radar platforms. The resulting datastreams for each cell are then multilaterated by a processor to produce a multilaterated datastream for each cell. The multilaterated datastreams for all cells are then combined by the processor and the resulting data used to detect or track one or more objects in the surveillance area. The fused multilaterated datastreams allow objects to be tracked as they move from cell to cell.
