Development of an emitter-location capability using differential time-of-arrival (DTOA) and different Doppler shift (DD) with the Lincoln Experimental Satellites 8 and 9 (LES-8/9) is described. Location of UHF sources over a large part of the earth can be estimated from observations as short as a fe...
