Dynamic Optical Tags

The Dynamic Optical Tags program seeks to create new tagging, tracking, and location capabilities for U.S. Forces. This program will develop optical tagging and interrogation technologies that will enable small environmentally robust, retro reflector-based tags that can be read by both handheld and airborne sensors at significant ranges. These tags can be used for unique, non-radio frequency (RF) identification of items of interest or monitoring tactical areas for disturbance from personnel and vehicles. The identification tags also will be capable of providing persistent two-way communications for both tactical and logistics operations.
