Claim 1:
2. The tracking system according to claim 1, wherein at least one of:
a) the position of each target is determined using a distance measurement obtained from the base sensor and elevation and azimuth angles obtained from the at least one tracking head angle sensor;
b) signals from a base sensor of a respective tracking head are used to control the at least one tracking head actuator to ensure that the tracking head tracks the target as it moves throughout the environment;
c) each tracking head is calibrated relative to the environment coordinate system such that the control system transforms positional data from each tracking head directly into the environment coordinate system;
d) the control system compares the determined position and orientation of the object with a desired position and orientation of the object and calculates a compensation vector in accordance with results of the comparison; and
e) each target is mounted to a pan and/or tilt controlled mount operable to assist the targets in maintaining line of sight with the tracking heads.
