Global In Transit Visibility (GITV) Final Report

Abstract

The objective of GITV was to provide a globally enabled capability to route consignment tracking data between partner nations in order to increase the synergy between ITV systems. This would be done by connecting the currently closed and disparate in-transit visibility systems of partner nations together in order to exponentially increase the ITV capabilities of each partner. This effort is propelled by the Operational Commander's requirement for better and more thorough visibility of the consignment as it moves through the supply chain and by nations' desire to work together in order to save resources. The GITV Project does not create a new "system" but rather it links together nation's individual in-transit visibility systems. As such, the work revolved around developing methods to pass consignment data from one nation to another, as opposed to creating a system that each nation must purchase and implement.
