Problem Statement: The increasing intensity and necessity of ensuring air traffic safety necessitate an enhancement in the precision and efficiency of civilian and military surveillance systems in determining the coordinates of aircraft.

Objective: To develop analytical expressions, conduct estimates, create models, and perform analyses of the standard deviation (root mean square) in determining aerial object coordinates using secondary passive bistatic radars when employing remote identification signals from air traffic control (ATC) systems as active responses.

Results: Analytical expressions for the coefficient of error (COE) in determining air object coordinates have been derived. The dependence of the COE on measurement errors in coordinate-informative parameters and other parameters and configurations of the secondary passive bistatic radar system has been studied when utilizing remote identification signals from ATC systems as active inputs.

Practical application: Enhancing the precision of locating aerial objects and, consequently, ensuring the security and efficiency of aerial transportation.
