A position determination system for movable objects or personnel comprising at
least one portable position sensor built into a wearable item of a member of personnel
having an identification number, or embedded into a movable object having an identification
number, and a high accuracy position determination device. The high accuracy position
determination device is configured to provide a set of high accuracy initialization
data including a set of high accuracy absolute positional data indicative of location
of the initialization device, a set of high accuracy velocity/acceleration data
indicative of velocity/acceleration of the initialization device, and a set of
high accuracy orientation data indicative of orientation of the high accuracy position
determination device. The portable position sensor is configured to utilize the
high accuracy initialization data to generate and broadcast the positional data
of at least one member of personnel having an identification number, or of at least
one movable object having an identification number.
