A global military logistics network

Article Abstract:

The US Army uses a logistics-based distribution system for transporting its supplies, which rely less on material handling equipment. The distribution system emphasizes the use of strategic configured loads (SCL) wherein military supplies are loaded into container roll-on/roll-off platform (CROP). The platform is identified by its radio frequency tag that provides all shipment information. Army units use M915 with M872 trailers to unload the platforms from its containers and distribute it to military units.

Micro-electrical-mechanical systems applications to logistics

Article Abstract:

The micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS) can be combined with active radio frequency identification devices to provide standoff asset visibility, self-reporting status communications and data storage to record, alert and provide immediate feedback to soldiers and logisticians on the status of assets. The overall goals of MEMS technology exploration are described.
