Abstract

See full text

A lightweight autonomous device is provided that can (1) determine its own positional information, (2) detect, via sensors with which it communicates, a position of a moving or stationary target, (3) calculate a relative position of that target to the device's own known position, and (4) transmit data regarding the target to a local or remote receiving station where the data can be interpreted and displayed. The disclosed device may employ global positioning satellites for position-keeping, detect and collect information from individual sensors regarding targets, calculate position information regarding targets by comparing sensor information with the device's known position, and communicate information to a compatible receiving system at a remote location, as well as performing local processing on the information. The receiving system may display the information to provide a situational awareness overview to a user to coordinate or control personnel activities and/or vehicular movements based on the displayed information.
