Abstract: The timely discovery of existing threats in the airspace is a permanent concern of the relevant military powers of this century and sensor networks have been developed in this regard, arranged over very large geographical areas in order to achieve a permanent and continuous surveillance of the areas of interest. Research conducted by the scientific community has demonstrated the potential of bistatic (passive) radar as a means of surveillance, the efforts focusing on improving receiver parameters and signal processing algorithms. An important role in these scientific approaches is played by the geodetic distance estimation methods, as well as by the diversification of technical solutions that provide the necessary support for their application and the establishment of algorithms for refining the data provided.
