Abstract

At present, the global navigation satellite systems’ use as transmitters of maritime surveillance opportunities in passive radar systems is particularly desirable because of global coverage and accurate sources' primary advantages. This paper proposes a global navigation smart radar system for maritime moving object localization and detection. To find and detect underwater targets, signal processing algorithms were used. For finding a transmitting node that can be used during the operation, a multilayered technique is used. The new Galileo satellites and smart systems have been developed to determine the technology's viability and verify the existing signal processing algorithms. The findings show that the machine concept and its multi-service capability are simultaneously observed with two satellites.
