About
TRIDENT is a unique Doppler radar system designed to observe and measure the propagation properties of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs). TRIDENT can capture data on gravity waves propagating from rapidly moving point sources, such as hypersonic objects, in near-real-time. The system employs a network of synchronized receivers across wide geographic areas to triangulate and track ionospheric perturbations with high temporal and spatial resolution. Its advanced signal-processing algorithms can differentiate between natural and artificial sources of ionospheric disturbances, making it valuable for both scientific research and surveillance applications.
