# Lesson 14 — Triangulation and Fusion

<p class="block-synopsis">A single bearing is a line, not a place. Cross two and the lines meet at a fix — but the crossing geometry, not receiver quality, sets the error. We add least-squares fusion across many receivers and trace the full RWR chain from intercept to track.</p>
