Target acquisition, locating and tracking system

A method for locating and tracking a target on a planar surface comprising:

• a. placing at least three electromagnetic wave transmitter for generating signals which diffuse around a target located on said planar surface, said transmitters being placed at three separate locations adjacent to said planar surface and positioned to cause the signals of at least three of said transmitters to overlap,
• b. generating signals from said three electromagnetic wave transmitters,
• c. receiving said signals by at least two electromagnetic wave receivers placed at two separate locations adjacent to said planar surface to receive said signals from said transmitters which diffuse around an object located on said planar surface, wherein at least two of said receivers receive said diffusion signals from at least three of said transmitters to triangulate the location of stationary and moving objects on said planar surface, said two receivers each generating an output signal,
• d. placing an object on said planar surface at a plurality of selected locations,
• e. storing the signals received from said receivers at each of said selected locations in a computer to establish a grid system,
• f. placing a target on said planar surface, and
• g. continuously comparing said signals received from said receivers with said grid system to locate and track said target.

• e. placing a target on said planar surface,
• f. comparing said grid system to signals generated by said two receiver means when an object is moving or stationary on said planar surface to locate the position of said object on said planar surface.
