The present invention relates to a method for locating sources emitting electromagnetic pulses, each source belonging to a carrier platform, the method comprising the following steps: receiving, by a detector, for each source to be located, at least one same emitted pulse, received directly and received by reflection on the carrier platform of another source, measuring the arrival direction, the arrival date and at least one invariant characteristic of each received pulse. The method further comprises the following steps: grouping together a first pair of pulses and a second pair of pulses, calculating the difference of dates of arrival between the pulses of each pair, determining the direction and the distance of each source from the detector from calculated differences of dates of arrival of the pulses of each pair.
