Abstract

A method for target localization by multistatic radar system is proposed. Two cases are considered – 2D case and 3D case. 2D case considers targets located near ground level (such as low flying drones) and for which the z-coordinate can be ignored. Localization of targets is carried out by finding the intersection points of ellipses. The problem is defined also in 3D space where the targets are located at a higher altitude that can’t be neglected. A solution for finding intersection of ellipsoids is proposed. Target detection is realized by solving nonlinear systems of equations by using homotopy. After target detection target tracking should be realized with big variety of modern methods applicable in different scenarios/cases. Special attention should be paid on data association problem due to unknown labels of detected targets.
