I just remembered playing SWAT 3, and in the "training" being taught that the team members are trained to leave activated glowsticks in the doorways to cleared rooms. Replacing that with a can of Nano-Glo Spray'd-AR(possibly mounted on the side of a weapon?) and having the ARO automatically updated to the current time (down to the second) that the mark was placed might be handy.

I doubt they would use this spray-paint system. More likely all the SWAT members would have their Commlinks connected so that they could mark rooms as clear purely in AR via their shared map overlays. This product would be more for a "low-tech" audience.

That works great, up until you decide to clear, say, a hydroelectric dam taken over by terrorists. Walking next to huge electrical generators might cause some communications problems.

It's the same reason that people learn military hand signs for communication and movement purposes. Sometimes, you forgot your batteries, or some equally obtuse thing screws your primary plan.

I'm not saying they wouldn't do the whole commlink/map/hypertechno solution to the problem... just that they'd probably have a redundancy.

Well in the huge electric generator case, a tiny weak-signal RFID wouldn't work either. You'd have to use real spray-paint.

In addition to 50 color selections (including flourescent and Nano-Glo shades), Spray'd-AR has a programmable ARO cassette built into the top of the can. After programming in the text or image you want the ARO to display with your commlink, a single tap of the thumb trigger drops an ARO marker into the paint stream and fires it out of the can, where it becomes a nearly invisible part of your tag.

Heck if you didn't want your troops to get hurt you could put a special paint on mines that only give off a AR signal to designated comlinks that would make friendly mines bright beakons.

Having booby traps give off any sort of IFF signal is a good way to make them detectable by anybody who can send them a signal. Making them only respond to certain signals is a good way to have your troops give away their own positions and attract fire, as they walk around pinging out radio signals on a specific frequency.

Hunter-killer drones, frequency-tuned detonators... great stuff :)
