“Stewart & Stevenson, a Houston-based firm that designs and manufactures specialty equipment for the oilfield, defense and power generation industries, is developing RFID-enabled cargo trucks for the U.S. Army. The Army awarded the contract to design the next-generation trucks, called Maneuver Sustainment Vehicles (MSVs), to Stewart & Stevenson, which selected Identec Solutions, located in Kelowna, B.C., to provide cargo-tracking RFID software for use on prototypes of the MSVs. Each MSV has a 13-ton payload, and, if the U.S Department of Defense approves it, the U.S. Army would use it to transport consignments in a theater of operations.”
