Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a direction ( 44 ) to a signal-emitting object via a platform comprising at least two antennas separated by a known distance, said method comprising the steps of: (a) receiving, with each of said at least two antennas ( (b) automatically determining, via at least one processing unit, a first phase relation of said one or more signals between said at least two antennas ( (c) receiving, with each of said at least two antennas ( (d) automatically determining, via the at least one processing unit, at least a second phase relation of said one or more signals between said at least two antennas ( (e) automatically detecting, via the at least one processing unit and a position determination unit, a change in orientation of said platform; (f) automatically determining, via the at least one processing unit, one or more corresponding changes in one or more positions ( (g) automatically, determining, via the at least one processing unit, a direction ( wherein:
