1. For a remote sensing ground-based application for wildfire management can you please confirm - where point clouds of firefighter personnel are monitored as time - frequency representations of a time signal in the lowest latency - what type of ground based radar would be the best for real time data?

2. How would the radar (r-u-v) coordinates convert to the cartesian (x-y-z) coordinates of the firefighter point clouds where the distance to the firefighter is affected by the curvature of the earth?

3. What atmospheric or radio window could reach the region of the firefighter in conjunction with an extended Kalman or similar algorithm to navigate to its point cloud (approximately 150 kilometers or greater) and keep the data in real time with little to no attenuation? Any links to case studies would be great.

Thank you for your assistance or referral on this topic.
