Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring now to the drawings in detail, FIG. 1 shows a police car 100 behind a target or suspect vehicle 102 . The tracking projectile 300 is fired from a launcher or gun 200 mounted behind the grille 104 of the police vehicle 100 and hits the rear of the target vehicle 102 . The tracking projectile 300 is launched at a high velocity so that it shatters upon impact with the target vehicle 102, as will be described in more detail below.

[0022] The detailed structure of the gun 200 is shown in detail in FIGS. 2-4. The gun is preferably an air gun or CO 2 gun, usually using paintballs and altered to be placed behind the front grill of a police car. Figure 2 shows the gun 200 in a sealed case 202 which protects the gun from the environment and other natural conditions such as rain, snow and dust. The top of the case 203 has latches 204 and 206 which allow access to the interior of the case so that the gun can be repaired, cleaned or maintained. The gun 200 is support...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a system for tracking a fleeing vehicle comprising a frangible tracking projectile and a launcher to propel and attach the tracking projectile to the fleeing vehicle. The launcher is a handheld or vehicle mounted pneumatic gun that uses high pressure gas to fire the projectile at the fleeing vehicle. The tracking projectile comprises an outer plastic casing that holds a GPS receiver, a radio transponder and a power source in an adhesive mixture. When the tracking projectile strikes its target, the plastic casing shatters allowing the adhesive substance to attach the GPS receiver, radio transponder and power source to the fleeing vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tracking device system comprising a launcher or gun that attaches a tracking projectile to a moving target, typically a fleeing vehicle. Tracking projectiles includes a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and radio transponder that determines the location of the target and transmits the information to law enforcement or others remotely tracking the location of the target. Background technique [0002] Police vehicles pursuing suspects at high speeds create dangerous situations and typically occur at high speeds and in high population density areas. Such pursuits often result in serious injury to police officers, suspects, or innocent bystanders, generating negative headlines for police officers and causing them to suffer the consequences of their injuries. But such manhunts are necessary to apprehend violent and dangerous criminals who refuse to surrender. [0003] Several solutions are offered for the dange...
