NATO's Challenge In Multinational Logistics
Find out how North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) meets multinational supply chain and logistics challenges by reading Part I of a 2-part series. The findings can provide insight into understanding security vulnerabilities and identifying where things could go wrong in any business supply chain.
Where is my ammo?
Radio-frequency identification has ushered the U.S. militarys global supply chain into the 21st century. That was clear in the massive logistics operations last year for the Iraq war as the military services precisely tracked myriad shipments from all over the world to the war front, located quickly needed material and eliminated human errors that plague manual tracking systems.

Augmented Reality: Beyond RFID and QR Codes For Mobile
Georgia Tech and Alcatel-Lucent recently demonstrated mobile augmented reality by providing an interface into a virtual environment. Imagine setting up a conference meeting and having the attendees appear in 3D on a table in your home office. By using augmented reality a user can see this virtual conference superimposed on the real table. Sound futuristic? It's not. Melissa Aiken and Jason Collins from Alcatel-Lucent explain.
