Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 17:
18. A method to produce a wide radar aperture comprising:
placing multiple respective sensor units that each includes a respective radar receiver and a respective location sensor at respective nominal locations of a mobile platform such that the respective sensor units have a nominal geometric relationship;
at each of the multiple sensor units, receiving respective radar data at the respective radar receivers at respective sensor units representing respective radar scenes associated with the respective sensor units;
at each of the multiple sensor units, using respective location sensors at respective sensor units to determine respective actual locations of the respective sensor units;
determining for one or more of the multiple respective sensor units, a respective location sensor-based difference between the respective sensor unit nominal location and the respective sensor unit actual location;
fusing respective radar data received at the multiple respective sensor units based at least in part upon the respective nominal geometric relationships and respective location sensor-based differences determined for the one or more of the multiple respective sensor units, between respective sensor unit nominal location and respective sensor actual location, to produce the wide radar aperture.
