Survival Emergency Location Transmitter Tracking System: (Patent 10,102,736; benefits from a patent application filing date March 2010) A Portable Autonomous Distress Tracking (ADT) System for locating aircraft, aircraft personnel, maritime vessel and or  personnel (such as a pilot, aircraft staff or maritime personnel) that can be automatically or remotely activated during or after an aircraft or ship distress event. This Survival ELT offers real-time personnel and downed aircraft tracking by Search and Rescue satellites. This is a Search and Rescue industry “first” which enabling rescue authorities to remotely activate a survival ELT, PLB or EPIRB “over-the-air” by satellite-link for unresponsive personal, ship or aircraft.

Smart Avionics System: (United States Patent Application 20160176538; benefits from the March 2010 patent filing) An Autonomous Distress Tracking (ADT) System and aircraft communication network comprises: avionics monitoring software in communication with aircraft avionics, the aircraft avionics including a flight data recorder (FDR) and an emergency location transmitter; the avionics monitoring software functioning to acquire real-time aircraft operating parameters from the flight data recorder; the avionics monitoring software further functioning to activate the emergency location transmitter (ELT) upon detection of an anomaly in the aircraft operating parameters, a processor/compiler in communication with the avionics monitoring software; and a transmitter in communication with the processor/compiler, the processor/compiler functioning to transmit real-time data obtained from the aircraft flight data recorder to the transmitter for transmission to ground-based facilities.
