A 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.
