Summary

The objective of the proposed research is to assess the feasibility of lightning-based passive RADAR for maritime traffic monitoring. Conventional passive RADAR systems are limited by short range and dependence on man-made sources, which clutter the spectrum and require maintenance. Lightning, by contrast, is high power, impulsive, broadband, and will remain when man-made emitters of opportunity are long gone. This work combines real-world broadband experiments, leveraging precise lightning tracking, and development of a theoretical model, that interprets positive or negative experimental results.
