DoD RFID Policy March 4, 2004 • Mr. Alan Estevez • Assistant Deputy Under Secretary • of Defense (Supply Chain Integration)
Oct 2003 RFID Policy • Support Warfighter requirements . . . • Directs use of active RFID across DoD Components for ITV • Directs immediate implementation of active RFID business rules • Streamline the Supply Chain . . . • Directs implementation of passive RFID within the DoD supply chain • States intent to be early adopter of the technology Established January 2005 for implementation of passive RFID
Why RFID now? • Improve business processes now • Drive the direction and cost of technology development • Drive the standards to work for us • Facilitate the implementation of Unique Identification (UID) Set the foundation for future supply chain improvements…TODAY!
Active RFID Policy Supports COCOM Directive Authority For Logistics • Immediately implement active RFID in support of in-transit visibility requirements • Tags on containers and consolidated air pallets • Establish RFID infrastructure to support core business processes • Must be standard way of doing business! • Enhance Asset Visibility, even in austere environments • Reduce Logistics Footprint • Hands-Off Data Capture • Improve Force Tracking • Optimize Transport/Logistics Assets
