"Radar-Responsive Tag
"Sandia National Laboratories has carried out development on these radar-responsive tags, which are like a long-range version of the ubiquitous stick-on RFID tags used to mark items in shops. The radar-responsive tag stays asleep until it is awakened by a radar pulse. The tags in Walmart have a range of a couple of meters, Sandia’s tags can light up and locate themselves from 12 miles away.
