Bug Cargo Trucks to Be Tracked by Air Ground System
An air ground electronic system to locate and track stolen trucks and freight within a year, says Fleet Owner. The device, about the size of two cigarette packs, resembles a license plate and works over a 50 mile range, usable with helicopter or unmarked police car. It hides in cargo before shipment and can be activated to emit a traceable beam, aiding police even if hijackers move the vehicle.
