Techniques are provided for multi-sensor pulse clustering. A system implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes a pulse direction calculator configured to calculate a direction of arrival of a pulse received through an antenna array. The direction of arrival calculation is based on pulse phase measurement differences between elements of the antenna array. The system also includes a rotation transformer configured to align the direction of arrival to platform body or navigational coordinates. The system further includes a pilot vector comparator configured to match the aligned direction of arrival to one or more pilot vectors, the pilot vectors indicating directions of interest. In some embodiments, the pilot vectors are obtained from an emitter tracking system or from an operator of the platform. In some embodiments, the pilot vectors are based on an intersection of directions of arrival obtained from multiple antenna arrays.
