D360 – Dog Tracking Collar

Protection Dogs

In both the Military and Police Force, Protection dogs provide a highly effective visual deterrent and can also detect, chase and restrain suspects, criminals and intruders with sub-lethal force. They may be used as a static or patrolling sentry; as additional force during an ambush; for crowd control or as an escort for detainees. It’s important to be able to track these dogs and identify their location in an ambush or crowd or, if they are injured in the line of duty and seek shelter away from the immediate location of the operation or incident.

Vehicle Search and Drug Detection Dogs

Vehicle Search and Drug Detection Dogs work at entry and control points, airports, Military barracks and vehicle check points. They are deployed to search people and baggage and also vehicles such as cars, lorries, motorbikes, aircrafts, ships and containers for drugs, ammunition, firearms, explosives and illegal human passengers.

In the event of an emergency, such as if a vehicle driver absconds with the dog still aboard, a GPS tracking device will enable the K9 to be located and recovered.

Search Dogs

As these Dogs go ahead of their units to search routes, buildings and compounds to detect the presence of pressure plates, weapons and explosives, sometimes over fairly long distances or in built up areas where they cannot always be seen, a tracking device is useful for determining exactly where they are and the precise location of their findings.

Tracker Dogs

Tracker Dogs are capable of tracking missing and injured personnel, other missing persons, lost children, escaped prisoners and criminals and the property of these people, over a wide variety of terrains, both in daylight and at night. They can cover large distances and sometimes need to enter areas that handlers cannot easily access so it is extremely useful to be able to track the Dogs and be aware of their exact location 24/7 both to secure their safety and recover the missing persons when they find them.

Dog Health & Safety

All of these Dogs work extremely hard and often are so well-trained, focused and dedicated to their duties that they do not stop to rest even when they are exhausted or overheated. The D360 Dog Tracking Collar feeds back real-time data on the Dogs’ temperature so handlers can constantly monitor their condition. If their temperature starts to approach a critical level, the D360 will send an email and text alert to the handler so they can recall, collect or move the dog to a more temperate location to give them rest and water and secure their safety.

Training & De-Training

These working Dogs are trained to the highest level. During training, before they become highly functioning, focused Military and Police assets, they are often exuberant, boisterous puppies. Other dogs are simply not cut out to be in Service. At the end of their Service to their country these amazing Dogs go through a rigorous “de-training” programme to normalise them so they can retire into civilian life and relax and live in homes as human companions. In any training or de-training scenario, there is a risk that a dog may escape or abscond or simply run out of view during an exercise. Tracking is very useful during training and de-training to ensure the Dogs’ safety.
