1. A method for localization of a first target, comprising:

  • sensing at a reference point a relative position of each of at least three beacons, said beacons having a predetermined geometric relationship on said first target;

    determining a bearing angle for each of said beacons relative to said reference point;

    determining a configuration of said beacons based on said relative position;

    calculating a range from each of said beacons to said reference point based on said predetermined geometric relationship, said bearing angle for each of said beacons and said configuration; and

    determining a heading of said first target relative to said reference point based on said range from each of said beacons and said configuration.
