A method of determining a target location from a vehicle (102) is described. The method includes identifying (12) the target (100) utilizing a video system (124), determining (14) an angular location vector (104) to the target with respect to the vehicle, detennining (16) a position (108) of the vehicle utilizing a digital terrain elevation map (122) and precision radar altimeter (30), calculating a location where the angular location vector would intersect with the digital terrain elevation map, and generating (18) a target position (112) based on vehicle position and the location of the intersection of the angular location vector and digital terrain elevation map.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de déterminer l'emplacement d'une cible à partir d'un véhicule (102). Ce procédé consiste à identifier (12) la cible (100) au moyen d'un système vidéo (124) ; à déterminer (14) un vecteur de localisation angulaire (104) vers la cible par rapport au véhicule ; à déterminer (16) une position (108) du véhicule au moyen d'une carte numérique d'élévation de terrain (122) et d'un altimètre radar de précision (30) ; à calculer une emplacement où le vecteur de localisation angulaire doit couper la carte numérique d'élévation de terrain ; et à générer (18) une position cible (112) en fonction de la position du véhicule et de l'emplacement de l'intersection du vecteur de localisation angulaire et de la carte numérique d'élévation de terrain.
