1. A radio frequency detection assembly, comprising:

  • a radio frequency detector which detects a radio frequency emission produced by a radio frequency emitter from a given location which is remote relative to the radio frequency detector, and wherein the radio frequency detector comprises a first transceiver which is operable to both receive the radio frequency emission produced by the radio frequency emitter and transmit a radio frequency signal;

    a second transceiver which is electrically coupled with the first transceiver, and which generates a radio frequency signal, and wherein a plurality of radio detection assemblies are located in a given geographical region and are deployed in spaced relation throughout the given geographical region, and wherein the second transceiver sends a radio frequency signal to another radio detection assembly, or receives the radio frequency signal generated by the second transceiver of another radio detection assembly;

    a location assembly electrically coupled with the radio frequency detector and which is operable to estimate the location of the radio frequency emitter from the radio frequency emission which has been received; and

    a radio frequency transmitter electrically coupled with the radio frequency detector and the location assembly, and which transmits a radio frequency signal which reports the presence of the radio frequency emitter.
