21 Sep 10. Lockheed Martin’s Savi Technology today announced the first-of-its-kind technology device that can switch from satellite or terrestrial wireless systems to continuously monitor the location and condition of shipments anywhere and at anytime. Called the Portable In-Transit Tracking Unit (PITU), the new-generation device about the size of a digital video recorder connects communications among Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices, GPS location and SatCom systems, global cellular networks and sensors that detect environmental and security changes. Developed over the past year, the first PITU systems have been purchased and shipped to several NATO defense forces in support of the International Security Assistance Force, formed by the United Nations to help stabilize activities in Afghanistan. PITU was developed in response to customer requirements to automatically track the whereabouts and condition of both cargo containers and their contents, whether in range of land-based tracking systems or in more remote locations such as deserts or oceans where there is no tracking infrastructure. Three-way communications enables PITU to capture location data from GPS and RFID-tagged supplies inside the container and transmit that information to either ground-based RFID or telecommunications networks or to Iridium satellite Short Burst Data systems. PITU leverages the best available system depending on the cargo’s location and customer needs. The ability to provide three-way communications between wireless systems and the hardware devices ensures that accurate, real-time information provides “ground truth” on the status of in-transit shipments. NATO has tested and validated the Portable In-Transit Tracking solution through various communications modes by monitoring container shipments throughout more than 10 European countries. The solution is tailored for NATO nations supporting coalition shipments where there is no cellular communications, such as through Pakistan, Afghanistan or for organizations supporting United Nations’ goodwill or disaster relief missions. PITU is designed to improve the safety and security of high-value or sensitive shipments – such as medical supplies, hazardous materials and ammunition – by minimizing the high cost of correcting unplanned events such as delays and misroutes or critical system failures. Developed along with Vari-Trac, a satellite communications technology provider, PITU beams real-time information to the Savi SmartChain™ software platform for managing assets, shipments and consignments.
