Hi folks, thanks for all the information provided. As much as I tried to understand some of you, its just beyond me. Btw, I did bump into this site recently which provides a formulae to convert Azimuth, Elevation and Range to XYZ coordinates. http://geostarslib.sourceforge.net/main.html

Thanks for answering the query, yes a moving object is involved hence the velocity information given. I was told by someone who is convinced that the additional velocity information does make a difference when doing a conversion to Lat Long Alt. I couldn't really understand the theory behind...

Homework Statement Is there a univeral conversion formulae to convert Azimuth and Elevation to Lat Lon or Cartesian X,Y,Z? Homework Equations So far, I have only been able to source out and successfully convert Cartesian X,Y,Z to Lat Long Alt. The Attempt at a Solution No findings...

We understand that Lat Long Alt can be derived from 3D Cartesian (X,Y,Z) but does a 5D Cartesian (X, Y, Z, Vx, Vy) does the extra mile to provide a more precise conversion to Lat Long Alt with the additional velocity data?
