Elbit Systems has unveiled a foot soldier tracking system for GPS-denied environments.

“Using Radio Frequency (RF) ranging patented technology, SmarTrack provides force commanders operating in urban areas, inside buildings or when GPS signal is jammed, with three-dimensional location of force members and a data link to transmit C2 data between users, thereby enabling continued operational level command & control and effective SA [situational awareness],” said an Elbit news release.

“SmarTrack weighs less than 150 grams [six ounces] and its SA output can be transmitted and read on any end user device held by either the individual operator or the commander.”
