Kettenkrad in Russia, Winter 1943/44. The Sd.Kfz.2 ( German: Sonderkraftfahrzeug 2) is a half-track motorcycle with a single front wheel, better known as the Kleines Kettenkraftrad HK 101 (from German klein 'small' Ketten 'chains/tracks' and Kraftrad 'motorcycle'), shortened to Kettenkrad (pl. Kettenkräder ). It was used by the military of ...
The 1913 motorcycle championship races were moved to a dirt track because dirt was safer. [30] The national organization overseeing motorcycle racing banned all competitions on board tracks shorter than 1-mile (1.6 km) in 1919. [31] One by one, the manufacturers withdrew their support due to the negative publicity. [27]
A vehicle tracking system combines the use of automatic vehicle location in individual vehicles with software that collects these fleet data for a comprehensive picture of vehicle locations. Modern vehicle tracking systems commonly use GPS or GLONASS technology for locating the vehicle, but other types of automatic vehicle location technology ...
Blue force tracking (BFT) systems consist of a computer, used to display location information, a satellite terminal and satellite antenna, used to transmit location and other military data, a Global Positioning System receiver (to determine its own position), command-and-control software (to send and receive orders, and many other battlefield support functions), and mapping software, usually ...
The automatic radio-tracking system that Cochran devised, [18] with its biologists, engineers, and technicians led by Cochran, became a radio-tracking center. That center not only produced many papers based on its own radio-tracking research, but it also developed new techniques, refined the tiny radio transmitters, attachment methods, and ...
Radar tracker. A radar tracker is a component of a radar system, or an associated command and control (C2) system, that associates consecutive radar observations of the same target into tracks. It is particularly useful when the radar system is reporting data from several different targets or when it is necessary to combine the data from ...
A trunked radio system is an advanced alternative in which the channel selection process is done automatically, so as to avoid channel conflicts and maintain frequency efficiency across multiple talkgroups. This process is handed by what is essentially a central radio traffic controller, a function automatically handled by a computer system.
Wildlife radio telemetry is a tool used to track the movement and behavior of animals. This technique uses the transmission of radio signals to locate a transmitter attached to the animal of interest. It is often used to obtain location data on the animal's preferred habitat, home range, and to understand population dynamics. [ 1]
