METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRACKING OBJECTS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Two spaced bodies each including three indepen- dently oriented radiating antennas are in communication with each other by such means as an electromagnetic or a sonic field. A first body receives radiation transmitted from a second body and establishes the pointing angles to the second body with respect to the first body. Further, the radiation received by the first body can include information defining the second body's pointing angles to the first body. These pointing angles are sufficient for determining the orientation of the second body relative to the first body. Analogously, radiation received by the second body can include information defining the first body's pointing angles to the second body for determining the orientation of the first body relative to the second body. Distance between the two bodies can be determined by phase-locking techniques thus providing the capability of a full six- degree-of-freedom measurement system. -1-
