Tracking Next-Generation Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) into 2035

Abstract

This paper explores the advances in automatic identification technology (AIT), specifically radio frequency identification (RFID), and seeks to exploit these capabilities for use in the DOD supply chain. Using technological trends, a thorough literature review, and opinions of experts, the paper compares current technology to a 2035 requirements forecast to identify capability gaps. The end goal is logistics situational awareness, where the DOD has the ability to provide end-to-end visibility throughout the DOD supply chain and can rapidly mobilize, deploy, sustain, and re-deploy forces in support of national security objectives.
