SkyeTek and defence systems integrator ACC Systems have entered into a technology partnership to deliver ruggedised, wirelessly-connected RFID handheld readers for identifying, locating and tracking casualties and medical resources using RFID and satellite technology. The readers are designed for use within the Tactical Medical Coordination System (TacMedCS) deployed by military medical personnel and civilian emergency responders in conventional warfare, humanitarian assistance, peacekeeping, disaster relief, and homeland defence settings. TacMedCS is a wireless communication system that uses RFID technology to capture and display real-time casualty data in the field. SkyeTek's embedded RFID technology will power wirelessly connected RFID handhelds used to read information resident on RFID medical wristbands placed on casualties or refugees and electronic dog tags worn by personnel in the field.
