Abstract:

An on-board system for location estimation and communication for a vehicle. In some embodiments, the on-board system includes a global navigation satellite system receiver, an inertial sensing system, a wireless receiver, and a processing circuit. The wireless receiver includes at least one of a cellular communications receiver, and a wireless local area networking receiver. The processing circuit is configured: to determine whether a global navigation satellite system signal is present, and in response to determining that a global navigation satellite system signal is present, to store, in the processing circuit: a current location estimate generated by the global navigation satellite system receiver, and a characterization of a radio-frequency environment measured by the wireless receiver; and in response to determining that a global navigation satellite system signal is not present, to estimate a location of the vehicle based on a characterization of a radio-frequency environment measured by the wireless receiver.

H01Q 1/24

Abstract:

A multimode tracking device includes a line of site (LOS) antenna; an LOS modem for communicating with other multimode tracking devices and for measuring power of a received signal; a satellite antenna; a satellite modem for communicating with a satellite for receiving and sending text messages, data and commands to and from external devices including a tracking and locating system; a Bluetooth or WiFi Direct interface for communicating with external mobile devices; an inertia measurement unit for providing motion tracking information; a user interface for interfacing with a user; and a processor for generating and displaying a line of bearing to the target on the display, based on the measured power and the motion tracking information. The multimode tracking device tracks assets and personnel and sends/receives text messages, data and commands to/from external devices both over the horizon via the satellite and locally via the LOS modem.
