Question ID: 506111
I am trying to find a company that produces bullets that carry micro
chip in the bullet head. These would be used for shooting animals that
then could be tracked by GPS or satelite.

Any leads?

I doubt if such a thing exists, but I'm prepared to be enlightened.

It would really surprise me if a microdhip could withstand the
crushing pressures of impact with an animal.

not a bullet but is this close?:

https://www.pneudart.com/products.php?category_id=7&product_id=40&parent_id=2

"Easily track your darted animal with the Pneu-Dart Transmitter Dart.
Available in 1cc ? 3cc darts, our transmitters are capable of
transmitting up to three-quarters of a mile."

I did the following search:
://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=dart+gun+animal+tracking+-collar+-collars+-tranquilizer&btnG=Search&meta=
and followed some of the links to find the above site.

The other thought that I had was from watching too many spy movies
which feature a plot line where the hero fires a tracking bug onto a
passing vehicle which then allows it to be tracked. Not sure if this
is real technology but it sounds too good not to be true.

Good luck in your quest,

Hello pendleton,

Was this the kind of thing you were thinking of?

"A "smart bullet" that can be fired at a target and then wirelessly
transmit back useful information has been developed by US researchers.

The projectile, created at the University of Florida in Gainesville,
US, is 1.7 centimetres in diameter can be fired at from an ordinary
paint-ball gun. The front is coated in an adhesive polymer that sticks
it to the target.

Inside, the elongated projectile holds a sensor, a tiny wireless
transmitter and a battery. This enables it to report back its findings
to a laptop or handheld computer up to 70 metres away. It can also
reusable, because compressed gas within the gun provides the
propulsion."

Hello fj

It's because a few weeks ago some commenters who had their own
websites were basically spamming Google Answers by posting the URL's
here in the hope that their websites would get a better ranking from
Google.  The editors then removed the ability for commenters to post
hyperlinks, that ability is now only available to Google Answers
researchers.

All the best
