ABSTRACT:
A method for determining a position of a target is described that includes establishing a reference target position and a measuring location position and measuring a range to the target, an azimuth angle to the target, and an elevation angle to the target. The reference target position, the measuring location position, the measured range to the target, the azimuth angle to the target, and the elevation angle to the target are utilized to calculate a position of the target.
