Abstract:
1. A system for locating individuals, comprising: a plurality of implantable chips, each implantable chip comprising a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder encased in each said implantable chip and having one unique code pre-programmed to be stored therein; a plurality of portable monitors, each of the plurality of portable monitors having one unique code, for one and only one of the plurality of implantable chips, pre-programmed to be stored therein, each of the plurality of portable monitors retrieving the one unique code, wirelessly transmitting a locate data signal with the one unique code and receiving location data; and a drone operator station remote from the plurality of portable monitors in communication with the plurality of portable monitors, the drone operator station receiving the locate data signal with the one unique code and thereafter transmitting an initiate search signal with the unique code, the drone operator station forming the location data after receiving triangulation data and transmitting the location data to the monitor; wherein the drone operator station is in communication with a plurality of drone aircraft, each of the plurality of drone aircraft including a transmitter for transmitting a search signal upon receiving the initiate search signal with the unique code, the search signal being transmitted over a search area of predetermined size to locate the chip with the unique code received by the drone aircraft, the search signal incrementally extending the search area until the chip with the unique code received by the drone aircraft is located; and wherein the search signals from the plurality of drone aircraft form the triangulation data.
