Fusion between AOA and TDOA

Imagine a group of three smart missiles flying together. They listen for a signal coming from a target ship. By comparing when each missile hears the signal and from what direction, they can figure out exactly where the target is and steer themselves to hit it, even if their GPS isn't working. The system specifically uses a technique called correlative interferometry to pinpoint the signal's direction, and the claims narrow the invention to long-range anti-ship missiles.

Why it matters: Since 2018, advancements in AI-driven autonomous swarm coordination and robust GPS-denial navigation techniques have made such complex multi-missile systems more feasible and effective.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMissile guidance, swarm communication, advanced signal processing
