Another solution may be some type of radar system if you can use a central TX/RX then time of flight to and back from each target. By using a rotating aerial you can then get direction and range but over such a small range this may not be workable. With a narrow beam system such as a laser / UHF you could do an elevation scan as well to get height, direction & range. ************************************************* Roy Hopkins :-) Tauranga New Zealand ************************************************* --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
