Smith Myers Communications has added passive Wi-Fi and Bluetooth detection and geolocation capability, in addition to ATAK Cursor-on-Target (CoT) integration to its ARTEMIS mobile phone detection system.
Passive Wi-Fi detection enables the system to geolocate devices associated with local wireless networks, while passive Bluetooth detection extends operational reach by locating devices after a device’s main battery has been depleted, in some circumstances. The additions improve search and rescue (SAR) capabilities even further by optimising decision-making and responder safety.
Meanwhile, the ATAK Cursor-on-Target (CoT) command optimises operational integration by enabling ARTEMIS to output precise geolocation data directly into CoT-enabled mission systems, allowing automatic cueing of EO/IR cameras and other networked sensors.
“By combining cellular, AIS, COSPAS-SARSAT, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth detection and CoT integration in a single system, ARTEMIS delivers multi-layered device awareness and seamless sensor integration across complex operational environments,” said Andrew Munro, Managing Director at Smith Myers. “These new integrations reinforce our commitment to delivering innovative, life-saving technology to operators worldwide.”
