A system and technique is described which has the capability to track and identify, in real time, various aircraft and objects including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs), and Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). The system uses a combination of techniques including conventional automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B), transponder multilateration, broadband emitter multilateration, primary and secondary radar, and passive coherent location. A series of enhancement to conventional passive coherent location are described.

I claim: 1. A system for tracking an object, comprising: a receiver receiving a reference transmission on a direct path from a controlled or uncontrolled transmitter, and a scattered transmission originating from a controlled or uncontrolled transmitter, scattered by the object, and then received by the receiver; a comparator comparing the received transmissions to determine a frequency-difference-of-arrival thereby establishing a track or tracks for the object or objects, the comparator comprising a subsystem for narrowband pre-detection signal processing receiving input signals include the target transmission and the reference transmission, and correlating the target transmission and the reference transmission using a database of a priori illuminator signals to discriminate between reference transmissions and target transmissions; and a tracker updating each track on a predetermined periodic basis, and forwarding each track to the system's processing unit for filtering and display. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the transmissions include one or more of FM radio, Digital Video Broadcast Terrestrial (DVB-T), Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the system combines one or more of portable and fixed multilateration, ADS-B, Passive Emitter Tracking (PET), and Passive Coherent Location (PCL) receiver systems sharing the same antenna mast, power, communications, and infrastructure for ease of deployment. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the system combines a mobile or fixed based system combines Passive Emitter Tracking (PET) and Passive Coherent Location (PCL) to provide real-time tracking and characterization or identification of cooperative and non cooperative targets including land, sea, and airborne targets. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the PET includes direction finding using phase of received target emissions and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) processing of the received target emissions. 6. The system of claim 4, where the PCL includes TDOA processing of signals reflected by cooperative and non-cooperative targets. 7. The system of claim 4, wherein the characterization or identification includes electronic intelligence of target emissions and target classification based on modulation of the reflected signals. 8. The system of claim 4, further comprising: a signal conditioner performing transmitter-specific conditioning of the received scattered transmission including analogue band-pass filtering of the signal, equalization to improve the quality of the reference transmission, and removal of unwanted structures in the signals.
