University has new tech for contractors

Article Abstract:

Fears of terrorists using US ports to launch their attacks and the controversy arising from the administration's plan to have a middle eastern controlled firm operate several of the country's major ports, makes port security an important homeland security issue in the US. Technology such as radio frequency identification tags (RFID) and anti-tamper devices coupled with a host of international cooperative agreements together are expected to greatly enhance port security.

U.S. looking to create 'Maritime NORAD' to track ships

Article Abstract:

U.S. agencies including the U.S. Coast Guard are looking at maritime domain awareness (MDA) to increase homeland and port security by implementing a pervasive sensor and data network that will track oceangoing vessels that potentially could pose a threat to the nation. Officials are pursuing a maritime version of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to track shipping traffic to get a clear picture of where vessels are and what they are carrying.

One major advancement in technology of using radio frequency identification (RFID) tags on shipped goods by the manufacturers and wholesalers is suggested.
