This paper presents results of an experimental trial aimed at detecting a car and a flying drone, passively, by exploiting transmissions of opportunity from a staring Holographic radar. Results show that targets could be successfully detected using a low-cost passive receiver prototype. This may be considered a first step towards a radar network that could provide more comprehensive coverage, over a wider area, against a broader set of target types and without requiring additional spectral resources.
