System and method for detection of emitter signals using multiple intercept rules
First Claim
1. A method for detecting a signal from a source, using a receiver, the method comprising acts of:
- determining a first method for detecting the signal; and
determining at least one rule that defines how the receiver operates to detect signals from the source when the receiver is configured according to the first method for detecting the signal.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for detecting emitter signals and for determining a scan strategy for a receiver system that receives such emitter signals. A rule-based system is provided for determining how emitters should be detected by a detection system. Rules may be used to prioritize certain emitters with respect to other emitters. The rules may also specify parameters for emitter modes, such as probability of intercept, turn-on range, detect-by range, tolerance, tolerance direction, scan periods, and other parameters. The rules may be used to compute the revisit time for the receiver. Multiple sets of rules may be created and a scan strategy may be computed based upon the selected rule set.
