SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF TRACKING AND/OR AVOIDING HARM TO CERTAIN DEVICES OR HUMANS
First Claim
1. A method of tracking individual military assets comprising:
- obtaining position data of a military asset via a GPS receiver contained within a position sensor associated with the military asset;
processing position data and sensor data via a processing component associated with the position sensor that receives the position data from the GPS receiver;
communicating sensor data to a host device via a communication interface in the position sensor configured to enable wireless communication between the position sensor and the host device.
