Claim One:
1. A method for geolocating a fixed, non-cooperating object by means of an embedded system onboard a mobile platform, the embedded system being equipped with distance acquisition means for acquiring the distance between the fixed, non-cooperating object and the embedded system, and position acquisition means for acquiring the position of the embedded system, the method comprising: acquiring two distance measurements of the fixed, non-cooperating object relative to two distinct positions of the embedded system, defining two object position-distance pairs, the two distinct positions of the embedded system being obtained by the position acquisition means, and the two distance measurements of the fixed, non-cooperating object being obtained by the distance acquisition means, acquiring at least one other distance measurement of the fixed, non-cooperating object relative to another distinct position of the embedded system or to at least one position of another non-cooperating object, defining at least one other object position-distance pair, and calculating a geolocation of the fixed, non-cooperating object based on the two object position-distance pairs and the at least one other object position-distance pair.
