DARPA:s Harnessing Infrastructure for Building Reconnaissance (HIBR) can track any person from any building at any time
Kimmo Huosionmaa
This highly advanced multi-role tracking system is used to track any people in any kind of building used by RF (Radio Frequency) signals. The idea of the HIBR-system is actually very simple. There is the need for tracking the people in 3D (Three dimensional) space, and when there is needed more than two vehicle, what locates the 3D space. The system is theoretically same kind of system, what is used as the triangle metering in the building areas, but when the system maker want to make 3D location and target the man inside the building where is many floors, must this person use six targeting points, and then the system is like the box shape formation of the tracking device. Why I’m writing here about this system, is that even some computer hobbyists can make this kind of equipment with the WLAN-support stations. In this case, the system will track the one particular GSM-phone, what is connected to the WLAN.
This system is of course used by civilians, and connecting in it is voluntary. The tracking system can be made by the normal WLAN-stations, what are set in 3D formation inside some shopping center. DARPA might think to use drones as the platform of that system, and in this scenario, the persons who are inside the building uses the transponder equipment, what allows the support operators to locate them inside the building. They might also view the film, what is send from those operators helmet cameras to that system. The HIBR might be the multi-sensor system, what might operate in the infrared and radio frequency and also some kind of SONAR:s might be used to locate the enemies.
This system can use as the meter the distance to the target and as the voice weapon, what will lock the targets nervous system. HIBR system might give the information about the position of the target to the support team. In this scenario, the HIBR is used by police or military entry SWAT-team what will search the bad guys from buildings, and the problem is, of course, to locate the enemies inside the building. Of course if the operators have the phone numbers of the target, they can track this person simply way: just making the phone call to this target, but if the target is thrown the telephone away, and this person doesn’t have any electronic device, must this person tracked by some other way, than use the walkie-talkie or GSM-signals to take the tracking those targets.
