Harris Corporation has just made known its latest invention, the Harris GR-100 System (Warning: PDF link). What makes the GR-100 wireless location solution so special from the rest? Well, it is a potential life saver, especially when used in situations to track and transmit the location of firefighters as well as first responders within buildings, giving room for on-scene commanders to better coordinate efforts and monitor personnel. Looks like real life rescue operations have taken on a more Real Time Strategy (RTS) game feel to it, but actual lives are at stake here. The Harris GR-100 will rely on unique accuracy-enhancing algorithms, inertial sensors and GPS (Global Positioning System) capabilities to deliver precision position information. [Press Release]
