Phased array transmission reflected off rotor blade to target

A method, comprising:

• by a phased array, at least one of transmitting electromagnetic (EM) energy in a direction toward rotor blades or receiving EM energy in a direction from the rotor blades, wherein an aircraft includes the phase array, at least one rotor, and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the phased array, wherein the at least one rotor has the rotor blades;
• by the at least one processor, at least one of determining or obtaining rotor blade information, the rotor blade information including at least one location of the rotor blades;
• by the at least one processor, at least one of determining or obtaining aircraft information, the aircraft information including a position and an orientation of the aircraft;
• by the at least one processor, based at least on the rotor blade information and the aircraft information, determining (a) at least one time to at least one of transmit EM energy or receive EM energy and (b) at least one angle to at least one of transmit EM energy or receive EM energy;
• by the at least one processor, based at least on the rotor blade information and the aircraft information, controlling the phased array to adjust at least one beam pointing angle of the phased array to one or more of the at least one angle and to transmit EM energy for a particular duration at the at least one adjusted beam pointing angle;
• and
• by the phased array, transmitting EM energy for the particular duration at the at least one adjusted beam pointing angle, wherein the transmitted EM energy is configured to reflect off at least one of the rotor blades toward at least one target.
