Patent attributes
A position determination system for movable objects or personnel comprising at least one portable position sensor built into a wearable item of a member of personnel having an identification number, or embedded into a movable object having an identification number, and a high accuracy position determination device. The high accuracy position determination device is configured to provide a set of high accuracy initialization data including a set of high accuracy absolute positional data indicative of location of the initialization device, a set of high accuracy velocity/acceleration data indicative of velocity/acceleration of the initialization device, and a set of high accuracy orientation data indicative of orientation of the high accuracy position determination device. The portable position sensor is configured to utilize the high accuracy initialization data to generate and broadcast the positional data of at least one member of personnel having an identification number, or of at least one movable object having an identification number.
