Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a multistatic radar system that is configured to detect airborne objects without the need for a transponder on the aircraft. The multistatic radar can be implemented using preexisting communications infrastructure associated with various networks such as paging networks. The multistatic radar system can be implemented using a plurality of multistatic communications links (e.g., transmitters that are communicatively coupled to a plurality of receivers). The distribution of transmitters and receivers in the network can be based on the RF conditions of the coverage area of the network. The multistatic radar network can produce one or more deterministic waveforms that provide the network with signal diversity needed for accurate detection, localization, and tracking of airborne assets. By controlling the waveforms in the system, as well as the density of the network, the multistatic radar system is able to use narrowband signals and operate with lower power than conventional radar systems.
