When chaos erupts over a sizable area, command centers can lose visibility of responder positions, decreasing situational awareness for responder coordination.
How it works:
- Each responder wears an assigned, lightweight high-visibility optical marker
- Drone video is processed during the mission for identifiers
- System georeferences latitude/longitude from drone image data during the event
- Responder location’s are displayed on a map or transmitted to a Tactical Awareness Kit (*TAK) system
Benefits:
- Passive supplemental position (no “squawks” from responder position means no triangulation of their position)
- No batteries, no maintenance
- Ad-hoc teams – (print optical identifiers on the fly)
