Achieving In-Transit Visibility (ITV): A Study of Technology in the Department of Defense

Abstract

As the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) leads a revolutionary transformation effort across the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Army studies and applies what it has learned from the force projection operations to meet the requirements of the War on Terrorism the time is right to institute the technologies necessary to achieve near real time knowledge of units and assets as they move through the Defense Transportation System (DTS). With assured communications systems ITV of forces and materiel from Home Station or industrial base into a Theater of Operations can be provided. This paper will describe the technologies and military applications necessary for Joint integration of ITV and the Army's application of ITV technology to achieve necessary changes resulting from lessons learned during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
