1. A spectral mapping module comprising processing circuitry configured to:
receive spectral activity information from one or more assets that have flown through an area, the spectral activity information being associated with location information indicating a respective location at which each portion of the spectral activity information was obtained;
associate the spectral activity information with respective volumetric elements that are each associated with a continuous volume up to a predetermined altitude that divides respective portions of a full volume of the area; and
determine a location of an asset within the area based on the spectral activity information.
