SPECIFICATIONS

For

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment

The Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) Flight requires purchase of RFID equipment to allow for 100% real time tracking and accountability. The RFID equipment will allow the flight to track and account for the equipment.

These salient requirements are:

a. 469 GPS sensors/tags to send signal and ping GPS location.

b. 5 mobile routers to operate off mobile network, not government network.

c. 5 gateway antennas to send and receive the GPS signal around the flight line.

d. 3 mobile gateway displays to allow for tracking in geographical separated locations.

e. Installation, Site Survey, and Software for equipment. Information will not be installed on Air Force network, but can be accessed via company specific web site.

f. All quoted items must follow Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) SAFE ordnance as stated below.

Any ordnance item that is percussion imitated, sufficiently shielded or otherwise so protected that all electro-explosive devices contained by the item are immune to adverse effects (safety or reliability) when the item is employed in its expected radio frequency environments, provided that the general hazards of electromagnetic radiation to ordnance requirements defined in the hazards from electromagnetic radiation manual are observed. See also electromagnetic radiation; hazards of electromagnetic radiation ordnance; HERO SUSCEPTIBLE ordnance; ordnance. (JP 3-04.1)

(US DOD)

Additionally, Major Command USAF (MAJCOMs) must determine if the use of the item constitutes a safety hazard, other than HERO, or pose a security problem and is the final authority for approving the use. MAJCOMs must also ensure the appropriate Communications and Installation Spectrum Manager has been consulted for compliance with AFI 17-220.

What the AGE Flight requires from this product is the ability to visually see and account for the equipment around the flight line and base. The ability to log into a program/web site to track the locations of the equipment will reduce the amount of time it takes to track down and bring the asset/equipment to the work center.
