The Australian Defense Force (ADF) has launched the fi rst RFID-tagged shipments from Australia into the Middle East that can be automatically tracked by interoperable RFID networks built for coalition forces by Savi Technology, a Lockheed Martin company.

The shipments aboard a freighter launched Australia’s full-scale deployment of active RFID-tagged pallets and containers into the Middle East that can leverage wireless tracking networks operated by the US Department of Defense, NATO, the UK and other coalition forces.
