The Mini-Tracer system is a novel extension of the basic Tracer radio location relay arrangement used to monitor or track the positions of remote objects. This paper presents the technical background and describes how a simple low-power Tracer decoder has been developed to utilize one of the Decca Navigator signals to provide the position information in digital form suitable for recording on a cassette recorder or for feeding over a data link to a base station. A surveillance system designed to monitor the position of lightships and lightbuoys is described, and current tracking results obtained using the Norwegian Continental Shelf Institute drifter are presented.
