ScouTrak Team presents a cutting-edge mounted display system designed to track important objects in dynamic environments, like paintball and military training. This innovative system uses RSSI polling every 0.5-2.0 seconds to monitor the locations of friends, enemies, and field items with an accuracy of 5-6 feet. It operates on ZigBee protocol with hardware based on Arduino platforms. By using a minimum of three base stations for triangulation, the system ensures high accuracy and reliability, enhancing gameplay and training experiences.

Concept & Motivation • A mounted display indicating location of important objects • Attached via arm band or gun mount • Objects such as friends, enemies, and field items • Possible items: UAV, enemy radar jamming etc. • Tracks objects by periodically polling RSSI • Accuracy of 5-6 feet, hopefully better • Polls every 0.5-2.0 seconds to save power • Minimum of three base stations to triangulate location • More base stations -> better accuracy • Density will not effect tracking accuracy • Uses • Paintball • Military training • Laser Tag
Competitive Analysis • Garmin Foretrex 401 Armband GPS • Not as accurate, not as fast: • Relies on satellite, cloud condition, etc. • Requires continuous satellite data tunnel • Doesn’t receive input from field items! • Doesn’t integrate any game functionality (only gps)! Basically: Not even close!
Technical Specifications • RSSI Protocol: ZigBee • Base Station Hardware: • Arduino Mega • XBee Pro 2.5,50mW • Large Antenna • Xbee Shield • Client Hardware: • Arduino Uno • XBee Pro 2.5, 2 mW • Antenna • XBee Shield • Color LCD Shield
