1. A multiple object positioning and guiding system, for positioning a first object at a desired position and orientation relative to a second object, comprising:

  • a plurality of positional tags affixed to body of said second object at points which define three orthogonal axes of said second object;

    an array of positional tag interrogation sensor elements located, external to said first object and said second object, at known reference locations relative to said first object;

    each of said positional tag interrogation sensor elements physically configured at said locations which define three orthogonal axes of said array;

    a computer operatively configured to compute the distance from each of the said positional tag interrogation sensor elements to each of the said positional tags and, subsequently, to compute the location of each of the said positional tags; and

    to compute the position and attitude of the said second object relative to said first object;

    an interface operationally configured to communicate the said position and attitude results of the said computer.
