Abstract
A Global Positioning System (GPS) communications includes a GPS receiver for generating position information, a processor coupled to the GPS receiver by a bus, and a communications multi-interface coupled to both the GPS receiver and to the processor by the bus. The processor presents the position information to the communications multi-interface capable of interfacing with a wide variety of communications systems. Described applications include guided weapons systems, interrogatable tag systems, collision avoidance systems, remote locator/responder systems, beacon location systems, search and rescue transceiver systems, location reporting pager systems, and cellular telephone location systems.
