Abstract

We investigate the dual use of airborne radio frequency (RF) systems. Specifically, airborne multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems are leveraged for the detection of moving targets in a typical airborne environment that is characterized by the lack of scatterers. With uniform linear arrays (ULA), angular domain decomposition of channel matrices is utilized and target detection can be accomplished by detection of change in the peak values of resolvable paths in the angular domain. For both linear and nonlinear arrays, Doppler frequency analysis can also be utilized and the change in frequency components indicates the presence of potential airborne targets. Nonparametric detection of distribution changes is utilized in both approaches.
