Secure Active Global Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System.

This proposal describes in detail the requirement for secure RFID tracking utilizing a “real-time” system to pinpoint the actual location of military assets. Current technologies/systems are passive and limited to scanning or reading from direct contact or very short range and do not support critical supply chain management with rapid movement of supplies and equipment during a wartime scenario. The technical objectives of this SBIR proposal include the design and verification of a functional long range, secure and reliable Radio Frequency Identification material inventory management system. PES will utilize its expertise and its ADAPTMESH system to develop optimum systems. PES will focus on Time Sync. Mesh Protocol (TSMP) that has a zero collision rate. PES and its associates are patented in lithium battery and ultra capacity and are developing optimum power packs including prismatic cells, a 200 Wh/kg prismatic battery with novel lithium nickelate, and developing new primary missile batteries for MDA. Integration will be proven by computer modeling in a lab environment with precision GPS coordinates. The system will be compatible with the current and next generation of military signal capabilities including Y-Code M-Code. Furthermore, the powering characteristics will allow for Selective Availability/Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) receiver usage. Also, powering hardware will be deployed with coatings that deter analysis of their internal operation.
