TransTrackerA great big folksonomy system in the sky anyone? That's what the Air Force seems to be looking into these days.
-
Air Force officials want to learn about technology that makes it possible for aircraft to remotely tag and track vehicles on the ground
-
The technology should make it possible to apply tags to a variety of vehicles from aircraft that are 3 kilometers or more away from a target, and the tags should be capable of being sensed and tracked for at least a few hours. Eventually, Air Force officials want the tags to last for a few days, according to the announcement.
-
The ideal tags would let trackers distinguish among multiple similar vehicles with tags, and the tags should include a time stamp or expiration feature, making it possible to know the age of a tag under observation.
The tagging system must also be capable of being installed on a propeller-driven unmanned aerial vehicle.
