Remote Tracking with SpaceTRAC

Tracking of and data communications with individual people has been a pressing need for years. Eagle Eye will develop a wrist-watch size tracking device with a two-way digital messaging capability for military personnel. Eagle Eye has developed a patent pending accurate satellite tracking technique and has designed a system to implement the tracking unit. Eagle Eye proposes to develop a thin unit using existing technology with the specific goals of global operation via communication satellites, long battery life, in-building operation, tracking accuracy to better than 100 meters, and low unit recurring cost. During Phase I the detailed requirements and design for an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for the RF Front-end will be developed. This ASIC will be incorporated into a new DSP ASIC currently under development to create the wrist-watch unit. During Phase II the prototype will be fabricated and tested via low Earth orbiting satellite.
