Abstract
Abstract. This study is about integration and evaluation of RFID and ubiquitous technologies in military logistic system management. Firstly, supply chain management and the necessity of a revolution in logistic systems especially in military area, are explained. Secondly RFID and ubiquitous technologies and the advantages of their use in supply chain management are introduced. Lastly a system based on these technologies for controlling and increasing the speed and accuracy in military logistic system in Iran with its unique properties, is presented. The system is based on full control of military logistics (supplies) from the time of deployment to replenishment using sensor network, ubiquitous and RFID technologies.
Highlights
Military supplies are the vital part of any military operations and the results of the war are greatly influenced by replenishment of supplies
The effectiveness of using ubiquitous and Radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies in supply chain management have been shown in many studies
The construction of ubiquitous logistic supply system using RFID chip leads to scientific management of the military logistic by allowing combined management of all logistic supply networks, optimizing supply cycles from the supply quarter to troops and enhances supply organs through efficient management of information among military supply management and unit-supply
Summary
Military supplies are the vital part of any military operations and the results of the war are greatly influenced by replenishment of supplies. The effectiveness of using ubiquitous and RFID technologies in supply chain management have been shown in many studies. Iran is in a strategic area in Middle East and there is a need for a change in logistic management and military forces are no different. The system, using these technologies advantages, is designed in a way that covers all required steps for logistic system management in Iran. This system is debugged as much as possible from common flaws in order to control supply chain management in military area fast and accurately
