Buddy Tag's motion sensing and analysis subsystem
- Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Buddy Tag is one of several types of tags being developed as a means of verifying arms control limitations on numbers of treaty limited items (TLIs). The TLIs being focused on for now are missile systems. Buddy Tag has the attractive feature that it does not have to be attached to the TLI, making it less intrusive than conventional tagging schemes. Key to Buddy Tag's capability is its motion sensing and analysis subsystem. Due to the nature of Buddy Tag's potential application, the motion sensing and analysis subsystem must be highly sensitive, extremely reliable, and capable of correctly distinguishing illegal movement of the Buddy Tag from inputs due to nearby cultural activity or low level seismic disturbances. This paper overviews the Buddy Tag concept and discusses its motion sensing and analysis subsystem.
