While hunting animals is not considered the most ethical of activities, it is in most regions of the world considered sport, and in some locations still a process of food gathering. The focus of this research is on the accidental shooting of hunters by hunters. The hunting accident is an all to common event experienced throughout the world since mankind first hunted for a meal with a ranged weapon. Now with the use of wireless technology an electronic safeguard system can be designed that will aid in preventing hunting accidents. This thesis will present a method of friendly fire prevention and will attempt to test this concept as a viable solution to the problem. The concept presented here investigates into the use of location based systems combined with directional data acquisition systems, integrated with a networking ability to pass data between sensor interfacing clones of itself. The principle of the concept is to use both the sensor and networked data acquired to conclude on a possible dangerous shot situation and hence gaining the ability to alert the hunter who’s aim is causing the dangerous situation
