Abstract
A system and method for determining geo position of a target by an aircraft, including: (a). electronically receiving navigation data related to the aircraft and multilateration information related to the target; (b). electronically calculating a locus of emitter positions (LEP) curve from the received navigation data and multilateration information; (c). repeating steps (a) and (b), as the aircraft moves toward or away from the target; (d). electronically accumulating, in a computer storage medium, the calculated LEP curves; and (e). electronically determining a position that is closest to all the accumulated LEP curves to establish a position of the target.
