RFID and the Defense Logistics Agency

"The Department of Defense has awarded Unisys Corporation a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to connect the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and its suppliers through an integrated Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) infrastructure to track and trace assets. The DLA’s global supply chain provides worldwide logistics support to U.S. military departments and selected government agencies. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies are used to track and trace assets. Active RFID tags are self-powered, while passive RFID tags contain no power source and are read as they move through the electromagnetic field of RFID readers." Source: technologynewsdaily.com
