An electronic device, which allows the detection of moving objects. The device consists of a small foldout screen, a battery and housing and a set of sensors which measure changes in air density and background magnetic fields. The motion tracker will detect moving targets within the range and read their size, density, direction of travel, range and speed. The motion tracker has two operating modes; active and passive. In active mode, the device emits electro-magnetic pings, which reflect from moving targets and give a reading as to their position, speed and direction of movement. In passive mode, the device merely scans background magnetic fields and air density and reads moving targets from this data. The motion tracker can scan a 90° arc at any one time. These devices have a battery life of around six hours continuous use in passive mode, three hours use in active mode and an effective range of 100m on active mode, 50m on passive mode.
