On July 30, 2004, the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics signed a memorandum outlining policy for the
use of RFID within the Department of Defense (DoD). The strategy calls
for taking maximum advantage of the inherent life-cycle asset management
efficiencies that can be realized with integration of RFID throughout DoD.
Leveraging this technology to improve our ability to get the customer the
right materiel, at the right time, and in the right condition is a critical
part of our End-to-End Warfighter Support initiative.
The new policy addresses two general types of RFID tags: (1) active, which
contains an internal power source, enabling the tag to hold more data and
has a longer "read" range and (2) passive, which does not contain
any power source, holds a minimum of data and has a shorter "read" range.
The
policy directs the adoption of specific business rules for the active,
high
data capacity RFID currently used in the DoD operational environment
to ensure continued support for ongoing Combatant Commander in-transit visibility
requirements
and operations.
The policy states that DoD will be an early adopter of innovative, passive
RFID
technology that leverages the Electronic Product Code (EPC) and compatible
RFID
tags. |
