1. A system for locating an individual, comprising:
- a chip with a unique code, the chip associated with the individual;
a monitor with the unique code, the monitor transmitting a locate signal with the unique code and receiving location data;
a satellite communication station in communication with the monitor, the satellite communication station receiving the locate signal with the unique code and thereafter transmitting an initiate search signal with the unique code;
the satellite communication station forming the location data after receiving triangulation data and transmitting the location data to the monitor; and
a plurality of satellites in communication with the satellite communication station, each of the plurality of satellites capable of transmitting a search signal upon receiving the initiate search signal with the unique code, the search signal being transmitted over a search area of predetermined size to locate the chip with the unique code received by the satellites, the search signal increasing the search area until the chip with the unique code received by the satellites is located;
wherein the search signals from the plurality of satellites form the triangulation data.

Abstract
A system for locating an individual includes a chip with a unique code, a monitor with the unique code, a monitoring station in communication with the monitor, a satellite communication station in communication with the monitoring station, and satellites in communication with the satellite communication station. The chip is implantable in the individual. The satellites transmit a search signal over a search area of predetermined size. The search area is increased until the chip is located. The search signals from the satellites form triangulation data. Location data is formed from the triangulation data and transmitted to the monitor.
