Disclosed is a vehicle-mounted ranging system and method. The vehicle-mounted ranging system has a communication transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one external communication transceiver and a plurality of ultra-wideband (UWB) transceivers configured to transmit and receive ranging pulses to and from at least one external UWB transceiver associated with the at least one external communication transceiver. A controller is interfaced between the communication transceiver and the plurality of UWB transceivers. The controller is configured to communicate with the associated at least one external communication transceiver to schedule transmission of ranging pulses between the plurality of UWB transceivers and the at least one external UWB transceiver and to calculate ranges between each of the plurality of UWB transceivers and the at least one external UWB transceiver based upon time-of-arrival of ranging pulses transmitted between the plurality of UWB ranging transceivers and the at least one external UWB transceiver.
