            This fundamental pioneering patent is important because of its profound influence in advancing the art of tracking. In its simplest form, only position and identification information are required. More complex applications allow a complete integration of all navigation, surveillance and communications functions in a single low-cost package.  A set of operational parameters, specifications and implementation strategies describe a technology that is most commonly referred to as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, or ADS-B.  In addition to the U.S. Government’s most recent decision to upgrade the National Air Transportation System using ADS-B (at an estimated cost of $15 billion), the patent’s broad coverage directly impacts many other industries, including but not limited to:

                                                • Air Traffic Control, Collision Avoidance,
                                                                • Runway Incursion Protection,
                                                                • People and Ground Tracking,
                                                                • Sailing, Fishing, Boating, Exploring, Hiking, Racing,
                                                                • Emergency Location, Search and Rescue Operations,
                                                                • Police and Fire Dispatch, Prisoner Monitoring,
                                                                • Fleet and Cargo Management,
                                                                • Railroad and Port Traffic Management,
                                                                • Automobile and Vehicle Location, Management and Tracking,
                                                                 • Surveying and Mapping

            This patent has very strong licensing and enforcement potential. Ownership to the right party should represent a unique investment opportunity.  A limited amount of additional information can be found at either of the following links:
