Canine Tracking Collars

In the military, dogs support a variety of crucial activities, including detecting explosives, searching locations, crowd management, security and the protection of key installations and equipment. Tracking these valuable assets helps to keep them safe as they conduct these (often dangerous) activities.

Protection dogs provide a highly effective visual deterrent as static or patrolling sentries. They also detect, chase and restrain suspects, criminals and intruders, and can be used as an additional force for crowd control and ambush. Tracking these dogs and identifying their locations is vitally important.

Search dogs are deployed to search people, baggage, vehicles and other containers for drugs, ammunition, firearms, explosives and illegal human passengers. In an emergency situation, such as a vehicle driver absconding with a dog still on board, our canine tracking collars help for the quick location and recovery of the animal.

Search dogs go ahead of their units to detect the presence of items such as pressure plates, weapons and explosives. Sometimes these dogs are far away from their teams or searching in buildings or built-up areas where they are not always in sight. Installing a tracking device such as the D360 Canine Tracking Collar can determine exactly where the dogs are as well as the precise location of their findings.

Tracker dogs are used to track missing and injured persons, escaped prisoners and criminals. Dogs are used to locate these people over a wide array of locations and terrains,  both in daylight and at night. These dogs can cover large distances and sometimes enter areas that are not easily accessible to handlers. Being able to track these tracker dogs is thus extremely useful, ensuring the safety of the animals as well as the quick recovery of missing persons.

Working dogs are often so focused and well-trained that they don’t stop to rest, even when they are exhausted or overheated. The D360 Canine Tracking Collar reports on real-time temperature data to help handlers can constantly monitor their condition. If a dog’s temperature starts to approach a critical level, the D360 Canine Tracking Collar will send an email and text alert to the handler. They can then recall, collect or move the dog to give them rest, sustenance and ensure their safety.

Working dogs are trained to the highest level to complete the task at hand. At the end of their service, these incredible animals are “de-trained” to normalise their behaviour and help them return to civilian life as human companions. During both the training and de-training process, there is a risk that a dog may escape or abscond. Real-time tracking is useful during this time to ensure the dog’s safety.
