I guess there must be a way to determine or calculate the gps of a distant target from an obvservation post,

Observer has GPS unit, knows where he is. Bounces laser off target, gets range and bearing. Computer calculates target coordinates based on above. Jdam programmed with coordinates, dropped from over head AC or UCAV. Boom. It's Miller time.
