1. A system, comprising:

  • a processor; and

    a memory device coupled to the processor, wherein the memory device stores instructions that are executed by the processor, wherein the system;

    determines a first position via an electronic position device that receives multiple location signals and computes the first position via the location signals, wherein the processor is configured to be coupled to the electronic position device;

    determines, at the first position, a first bearing to a remote object at a second position via an electronic bearing device that computes the first bearing wherein the processor is configured to be coupled to the electronic bearing device;

    determines a third position, different from the first position and different from the second position, via the electronic position device that receives the multiple location signals and computes the third position via the location signals;

    determines, at the third position, a second bearing, different from the first bearing, to the remote object at the second position via the electronic bearing device that computes the second bearing;

    computes a first rotation, by the first bearing, of a first vector associated with the first position;

    computes a second rotation, by the second bearing, of a second vector associated with the third position; and

    computes the second position based on the first rotation, by the first bearing, of the first vector and the second rotation, by the second bearing, of the second vector.
