Ardupilot Follow Me GPS Beacon/Box

Hello all, 

I am looking to build an Ardupilot Follow Me Box/GPS beacon. My project is intended to have a quadcopter follow a vehicle on a closed testing site. I need help building a GPS Beacon that can be attached to the car and then relay signals back to the quadcopter. The quadcopter will then take the beacon coordinates and stay a certain distance away from the vehicle. 

How would I go about doing this? What hardware would I need and what software would I need to do it?

Here are some links I found regarding similar projects:

I look forward to hearing your responses.
