RFID at NATO

Saturday, 21 January, 2006

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has approved Standardisation Agreement (STANAG) 2233 for RFID.

The draft agreement for "Consignment and Asset Tracking By Radio-Frequency Identification" (NATO STANAG 2233) has received the votes needed for ratification as a STANAG. Formal promulgation of the STANAG will follow later this year. The STANAG is an agreement between nations to use a standardised RFID for tracking of consignments and assets between nations.

STANAG 2233 references existing ISO standards for both active and passive RFID utilising the infrastructures of the nations involved. Changes to the first edition already in progress reflect the rapidly evolving RFID market, and the applicable ISO standards. This STANAG applies only to NATO operations while encouraging use of the STANAG internally by the ratifying and implementing nations.
