I need to load a det file into Matlab and with the map loaded, place a point on the map and calculate line of sight. This is to calculate the range limits of a drone flying in a particular location with hills and ridges affecting line of sight.

The Mapping Toolbox supports importing terrain data in several file formats ( Doc Page ). The los2 function will do the line of sight calculation for you. The viewshed function might also be handy.
