Abstract
An augmented personnel locator system (APLS) may include a plurality of identifier nodes and a plurality of intermediate nodes. The plurality of intermediate nodes may be configured in a mesh topology. Each intermediate node may be configured to receive position and status information from at least one identifier node of the plurality of identifier nodes and may be further configured to retransmit the position and status information to a receiver node, either directly or indirectly (e.g., via at least one other intermediate node). The APLS may further include a wireless gateway onboard a vehicle and communicatively coupled to the receiver node. The APLS may further include a vehicle display system configured to receive the position and status information from the receiver node via the wireless gateway and further configured to generate map symbology based on the position and status information for a vehicle display.
