Marker system

A marker system, comprising:

• a controller;
• a plurality of emitters electrically interfaced to the controller such that, upon the controller initiating a flow of electric current though one or more of the emitters, the one or more of the emitters emit light;
• at least one detector electrically interfaced to the controller, the at least one detector for detecting light in of a specific wavelength and converting the light to an electrical signal that is received by the controller;
• software stored on a non-transitory storage associated with the controller, the software monitoring the at least one detector for an incoming Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) signal, the software initiating the flow of electric current through a selected set of the plurality of emitters responsive to receiving the incoming IFF signal from the at least one detector;
• and an operating status switch in electrical communication with the controller, whereas upon activation of the operating status switch, the controller causes one or more vibration motors that are in electrical communication with the controller to vibrate in a pattern, the pattern selected based upon an operational state of the marker system.

A marker system, comprising:

• a controller;
• a first switch electrically interfaced to the controller, the first switch for selectively choosing a function;
• a second switch electrically interfaced to the controller, the second switch for selectively choosing an operating mode;
• at least one light emitting diode electrically interfaced to the controller;
• at least one photo detector electrically interfaced to the controller;
• an operating status configuration switch electrically interfaced to the controller, the operating status configuration switch for determining the status of the marker system;
• a vibration device electrically interfaced to the controller;
• software stored on a non-transitory storage associated with the controller, the software determines a mode based upon signals from the first switch and the second switch and, based upon the mode, the controller selectively provides electrical current to one or more of the at least one light emitting diode such that the one or more of the at least one light emitting diode emit light, and upon the software detecting an incoming Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) interrogation signal from any of the at least one photo detector, the circuit provides electrical current to a subset of the at least one light emitting diode to respond to the incoming IFF interrogation signal, thereby the subset of the at least one light emitting diode emits light responsive to the software detecting the incoming IFF interrogation signal;
• wherein responsive to the software detecting the interrogation signal, the software provides electrical current to the vibration device, thereby causing the vibration device to vibrate indicating that the incoming IFF interrogation signal was received.
