Abstract

Systems and methods to detect airborne traffic between multiple airborne aircraft are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a set of multiple stationary transmitters that generate and transmit information packets. Individual receivers included in aircraft may receive radar signals with information, including the information packets, and reflections of the information packets from one or more targets (i.e., airborne objects such as other aircraft), all from multiple stationary transmitters. Using the received radar signals, individual receivers may determine the current geographical location of the individual receivers, and the current geographical locations of the one or more targets.
