US12618975 - Targeting

A targeting method comprising the steps of determining a bearing to a target from an observer using first and second independent techniques; comparing the bearings as determined by the first and second independent techniques and determining whether the bearings are accurate; and if the bearing is deemed to be accurate; measuring a range from the observer to the target; and calculating the position the target based on the verified bearing and range from the observer's position. The bearing can be measured by using a magnetometer, and cross-checked or verified using calculations based on three-dimensional satellite cartography data. The range to the target can be cross-checked, as can the position and viewpoint of the observer.
