Passive Positioning and Tracking of Flying Objects Using Satellite Signals

随着为全球卫星互联网服务部署低地球轨道卫星星座，如Starlink，来自太空的Ku/Ka/V波段微波信号将在地球上任何地方全天候可用。利用这些微波信号，该项目旨在研究一种高分辨率、高性价比的解决方案来定位和跟踪不合作的飞行物体，并期望在遥感领域产生新的知识，使澳大利亚成为被动飞行物体定位和跟踪的领导者。这应该会带来巨大的好处，例如使未来的无人机交付系统或空中出租车服务能够得到新的应用，并使航空运输业、国防工业和鸟类保护受益。

Along with the deployment of low Earth orbit satellite constellations for global satellite Internet services, such as Starlink, Ku/Ka/V band microwave signals from space will be available anywhere on Earth 24/7. Utilising the microwave signals, this project aims to investigate a high-resolution cost-effective solution to position and track un-cooperative flying objects, and expects to generate new knowledge in the area of remote sensing and to make Australia the leader in passive flying objects positioning and tracking. This should provide significant benefits, such as enabling new applications for future drone delivery systems or aerial taxi services, and benefiting the air transport industry, the defence industry, and bird conservation.
