Patent ID: 8615190

Claim:
A system for locating a plurality of emitters and transmitting jamming signals at said plurality of emitters within an area comprising: a receiver to receive signals transmitted by said plurality of emitters and obtain measurements of said received signals at a plurality of different locations within said area; a processor to process said measurements to locate said plurality of emitters within said area, wherein said processor includes: a location module to process said measurements and determine three-dimensional locations of said plurality of emitters within said area based on relationships of distances between said plurality of emitters and each of said plurality of locations, wherein said measurements are proportional to said distances; and an emitter analysis module to determine an emitter type associated with each emitter and rank said plurality of emitters based on said emitter type and said three-dimensional locations of said plurality of emitters within said area; and a transmitter to transmit said jamming signals at said plurality of emitters based on said three-dimensional locations of said plurality of emitters within said area, wherein said transmitter is configured to generate an amount of jamming energy, transmit sufficient energy from the amount of jamming energy at a first of the plurality of emitters and transmit remaining energy from the amount of jamming energy among remaining ones of the plurality of emitters, and wherein said transmitter transmits jamming signals at successive ones of said plurality of emitters in order of said rank until said jamming energy is exhausted.
