providing at least two flying platforms each including at least one passive radio frequency sensor for determining emitter beam pulse sequences;

mutually exchanging positions of the at least two flying platforms while surveying the emitters and the azimuth angle in which each emitter is being surveyed;

exchanging electronic properties of received emitter beams between the platforms, including a measured frequency of the emitter beams that are intercepted, time differences between each instance of two sequential pulses of an intercepted pulse sequence, and a signal for classifying a sequence of time differences of a pulse sequence being surveyed; and

determining an emitter location by using intersecting points at which the electronic properties of the intersecting emitter beams are identical from among a plurality of possible intersecting points arising from intersecting bearing lines obtained during said emitter surveying,

wherein geometrical data and electronic characterizing data for the emitter signals, which are received from emitters that have become newly operational, are transferred with a first priority, and the data for emitters, which have already been surveyed, are transferred with a second priority lower than the first priority and, depending on the priority, an appropriate repetition rate is provided for the transfer of the electronic characterizing data for the emitter signals during the exchange between said at least two platforms, and wherein frequency measurement windows, which are used by said at least two platforms, are synchronized between said at least two platforms to correlate the electronic properties, and surveying of the emitters takes place simultaneously in said at least two platforms.
