00:06.240 --> 00:08.296
the new army mobility asset tracking

00:08.296 --> 00:10.610
system or a mats . An upgrade of the

00:10.610 --> 00:12.980
radio frequency identification system

00:12.990 --> 00:15.220
or R . F . I . D . Is now underway a

00:15.220 --> 00:17.980
campaign of john quit the company cubic

00:17.980 --> 00:20.091
global tracking solutions created the

00:20.091 --> 00:22.202
technology to help in the tracking of

00:22.202 --> 00:24.147
equipment as it's processed due to

00:24.147 --> 00:26.313
redistribution property assistant team

00:26.313 --> 00:28.420
system , the for a second army field

00:28.420 --> 00:30.476
support brigade in the army material

00:30.476 --> 00:32.880
command or am implemented the new

00:32.880 --> 00:34.936
system . First of all , you're gonna

00:34.936 --> 00:38.350
have the match tag and you're

00:38.360 --> 00:40.249
also part of the infrastructure .

00:40.249 --> 00:42.540
You're gonna have extender tags and

00:42.550 --> 00:44.717
what they call an F . M . G . Which is

00:44.717 --> 00:47.190
a fixed mesh gateway . And that makes

00:47.190 --> 00:49.301
up the infrastructure for the tags to

00:49.301 --> 00:51.412
read and report into the server . And

00:51.412 --> 00:53.634
we also have the hand scanners which we

00:53.634 --> 00:55.840
use to link up the tag with the eyelid

00:55.840 --> 00:57.896
sticker on the truck and then we can

00:57.896 --> 01:00.400
track each tag with truck to track to

01:00.400 --> 01:02.640
the retrograde processor . Each label

01:02.640 --> 01:04.830
has its own unique number and contains

01:04.830 --> 01:06.941
information about where the equipment

01:06.941 --> 01:08.552
has to be shipped . When the

01:08.552 --> 01:10.886
information is scanned into the network ,

01:10.886 --> 01:12.941
it continues down the chain until it

01:12.941 --> 01:14.997
reaches the destination at the fixed

01:14.997 --> 01:17.108
smash gateway . The gateway will pass

01:17.108 --> 01:19.108
the information on to personnel who

01:19.108 --> 01:21.163
tracked the assets movements in real

01:21.163 --> 01:23.163
time on computers that use programs

01:23.163 --> 01:25.108
like google earth working with the

01:25.108 --> 01:27.274
logistics innovation Agency or L . A .

01:27.440 --> 01:29.662
The Headquarters Department of the Army

01:29.662 --> 01:31.718
G four . We found out that they have

01:31.718 --> 01:34.060
this technology called a mess And so

01:34.060 --> 01:36.227
I'm working with them were able to get

01:36.227 --> 01:39.530
some of that equipment uh in early 2011 ,

01:39.530 --> 01:41.710
the February time frame and conduct a

01:41.710 --> 01:44.110
proof of principle or pop on some of

01:44.110 --> 01:46.590
that equipment . So we came here uh ,

01:46.600 --> 01:49.340
as well as some expertise from L . A .

01:49.350 --> 01:51.960
uh , and their contractor . Uh , we set

01:51.960 --> 01:54.820
up a limited test here in Camp Perrin

01:54.830 --> 01:56.719
john and we tested that equipment

01:56.719 --> 01:58.860
coming through the process uh ,

01:58.870 --> 02:01.037
automatically determined that it was a

02:01.037 --> 02:02.870
definite combat multiplier . The

02:02.870 --> 02:05.037
program has worked so well that during

02:05.037 --> 02:06.870
the test phase the army opted to

02:06.870 --> 02:09.092
permanently deployed the system , cubic

02:09.092 --> 02:11.148
Global hopes to update the system to

02:11.148 --> 02:12.981
allow the labels to contain more

02:12.981 --> 02:14.981
information including door status ,

02:14.981 --> 02:16.690
light intensity , humidity ,

02:16.790 --> 02:19.570
temperature and motion . The aim at

02:19.570 --> 02:21.792
system is going to be used by the , for

02:21.792 --> 02:23.940
a second and the AMC to keep track of

02:23.940 --> 02:26.200
vehicles reporting from Camp Sheriff

02:26.200 --> 02:28.360
john quake for the first TSC . I'm
