Remote target tracking is one of the most important applications of wireless sensor networks. Tracking a target in three dimensional space is a four dimensional space problem. At least four simultaneous independent quadratic equations must be solved for tracking the target. Beyond numerical equation solving methods, we can use analytic geometry solution. In this paper we introduce a new analytic geometry method for target tracking in three dimensional space. Instead of solving four independent quadratic equations using numerical analysis techniques we introduce a new geometric solution that greatly eases target tracking computations by using linear simultaneous equations. The results can be visualized using techniques of virtual reality and computer graphics. Interactive software greatly increases the performance of target tracking and control over battlefields in critical times.
