This text delves into the practical implications of employing geolocation for electronic warfare in real-world systems, encompassing a range of factors such as the target's position, errors in sensor position, orientation, or velocity, and the effects of repeated measurements over time. As a companion volume to the author's previous book, Emitter Detection and Geolocation for Electronic Warfare (Artech House, 2019), this book offers in-depth insights into real-world challenges that include working within and converting between different coordinate systems, incorporating prior information about targets, sensor uncertainties, the use of multiple snapshots over time, and estimating the current position and velocity of moving targets. The electronic book version presented here includes several links to software and videos that can be downloaded from the publicly available Git repository. Additionally, the book includes all MATLAB code necessary to develop novel algorithms that allow comparisons to classical techniques and enable the consideration of errors in timing, position, velocity, or orientation of the sensors.

With its unique and updated coverage of detailed geolocation techniques and data, coupled with easy linkable access to additional software and videos, this book serves as a vital resource for engineers and electronic warfare practitioners seeking the most comprehensive information available on the development or employment of geolocation algorithms. It is also an invaluable teaching resource for faculty and students in engineering departments specializing in RF signal processing topics, as well as anyone with an interest in novel applications of SDRs and UAVs.
