First RFID DoD Contractor

Boeing has become the first defense contractor to support a US Department of Defense (DoD) initiative to use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to better manage its receipt of goods from the defense industry. A Boeing shipment of F-15 parts sent in late April was the first to transmit data electronically from a boxed shipment through the DoD's e-commerce system, Wide Area Workflow, using RFID technology.
