NCT Category: Integrated Navigation Systems
Sub-Category: (D)GPS positioning
Our Focus: Environmental information relayed through DGPS systems

We resolve to design a multipurpose beacon, using GPS (Global Positioning Systems) technology, that can relay both its position and additional information about the surrounding environment, to existing data centers. These data centers will then synthesize and organize this raw data and forward it to the troops in the field who need it.

A special thanks to our technical advisor LTC Steven Fleming, who made this research all possible, Mrs. Kozak for helping this course come to where it is today, Mr. O’Connor for proofreading the website and Fr. Lou Konopelski for bringing this course to Don Bosco. We also thank the teachers that let us use their rooms for our group meetings, as well as Mr. Siemon, for advice. Finally, we thank all the team members who worked around the clock (literally) to make this project complete: James, Walter, Alex, Rob and John.
