Abstract
An emergency command and control system (30) includes a plurality of positioning subsystems (32, 34, 36). Each of the plurality of positioning subsystems (32, 34, 36) has a receiver and a transmitter and transmits positioning signal (38). A wearable tag (40) is capable of receiving the positioning signal (38) from several of the plurality of positioning systems (32, 34, 36) . The wearable tag (40) transmits a tag position. A console (42) contains a computer (44) and a receiver capable of receiving the tag position.
Claims20
An emergency command and control system, comprising:
- a plurality of positioning subsystems, each of the plurality of positioning subsystems having a receiver and a transmitter, the plurality of positioning subsystems transmitting a positioning signal;
- a wearable tag capable of receiving the positioning signal from several of the plurality of positioning systems, the wearable tag transmitting a tag position;
- and
- a console containing a computer and a receiver capable of receiving the tag position.
A method of operating an emergency command and control system, comprising the steps of:
- a) determining a position of a plurality of positioning subsystems;
- b) transmitting a position signal from each of the plurality of positioning subsystems;
- c) receiving the position signal from several of the plurality of positioning subsystems at a wearable tag;
- and
- d) calculating a tag position.
