A flux of UHE (E > 10^18eV) neutrinos is expected from interaction of UHE cosmic rays with the cosmic microwave background. The Antarctic Impulse Transient Antenna (ANITA) campaign is a NASA Long-duration balloon mission searching for coherent radio emission induced by ultra-high energy neutrinos interacting in the Antarctic ice, as well as by UHE cosmic ray particle cascades in the air. The third ANITA flight began in December 2014 and lasted for 22 days. I give a general description of the ANITA-III payload and flight, and present analysis methods to be used in identifying and localizing radio pulse events.ICE CREAM and KNOWLEDGE PROVIDED 4138 Physics Research Building America/New_York public
