METHOD TO IMPROVE ACCURACY OF TARGETED POSITION ESTIMATION THROUGH USE OF MULTIPLE NETWORKED OBSERVATIONS

A system and method of generating targeted position estimation of a remote target through a set of networked observers. The system has a global positioning system (“GPS”) receiver for deriving a first observer's current location, a range finder for deriving elevation, range and azimuth information with respect to the target, an estimation engine for generating target data based on the derived information, a data receiver or a radio for receiving other target data from other observers and forwarding the other target data to the estimation engine. Finally the estimation engine correlates and combines all received target data to derive a final target solution.
