DoD Awards Contracts to RFID Vendors ADT, Alien
The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded two new RFID vendor contracts during this past week, giving "approved" status to Alien Technologiesand ADT Security Systems. The ADT products approved are the Sensormatic Agile 2 readers, Sensormatic Omnipoint antennas, and GlobeRanger's iMotion RFID software. The DoD also approved Alien's ALR-9770 series multiprotocol readers. This new wave of product approvals by the DoD will allow their buyers a wider array of options to assist in the government's RFID asset tracking and supply chain efforts. According to Information Week:
The awards are part of a government project to build an integrated supply chain that consistently identifies, tracks, locates, and monitors Department of Defense assets and commodities, using passive RFID EPC Class 1 technology.
The RFID EPC-1 technology will be used at inventory warehouses and maintenance, repair, and tracking facilities; at entry and exit points of military facilities; and at roadside installations. It also will be used to handle and track hazardous explosives.
