A Study on the Military Logistics System in Ubiquitous Environment

چکیده
The U.S. Army, the forerunner of the military distribution system that utilizes high-technology, has presented visions of "ARMY 21" and "Army After Next," made plans in detail by predicting the operation of the army according to varied military campaigns, making all out efforts to prepare for the future. During the war in Iraq, the U.S. had to open up 30,000 containers to verify their contents. Some of them are completely lost. The military distribution system may have an advantage of responding each situation but also causes waste of time and a budget. To address the problem this document took a look at the logistics system using RFID technology. But the document has its limitations, for use of RFID in a logistics system has yet to be developed and there’re not sufficient data to prove the effect of the system. Keyword: Logistics, RFID, Distribution
