Inside? Outside? Cost? If the answer is outside and cost is not an issue. a Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS system could do the job. You should be able to get 1Hz positions to better than 10cm with a rover and fixed base setup. Ask the question on sci.geo.satellite-nav Paul

Something like UWB/802.15.3a, but that is already in production. Basically you have an RF transmitter attached to the device you are tracking which constantly sends out beacons. These beacons are received by a number of other devices in known positions which are able to use the differences in time of arrival to triangulate the mobile devices coordinates. Tricky, because you need sub-nanosecond timing to get accuracy < 1m, but this is what UWB allows you to do.

Yes. Cheers, Jon

Jon, what do you mean by this?
> - Position updated every 0.5s or less.
In other words, do you intend to send a new position every .5s, or receive a report on the position of the device? Assuming the later, do you need intermediate positions, or do you just need to know once the device has hit its target? I think that a good rifle would do the trick, shooting at a target with a pressure transducer of some sort to report a hit. Mike

Hi,

Does anyone know of an existing technology that allows for
high-resolution wireless positioning, with roughly the following
characteristics:

 - Positioning accuracy of 10-50cm
 - Position updated every 0.5s or less.
 - Range 200m+

Cheers,
JonB
