 Defense/Aerospace:
Case Study—Military Sensors Monitor the World
The U.S. Army has been testing the use of temperature sensor-equipped RFID tags for
automated shelf life management of perishable military rations. Its research and
development team also is leveraging both passive and active RFID for total asset
visibility, supply chain security and food safety throughout storage and distribution. The
Army will share the lessons learned from several projects that include RFID sensor
based container security devices.
