RFID TagSource has signed a cooperative research and development agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration to enhance flight safety operations by storing maintenance history information directly on aircraft parts using RFID technology.
The tags – RFID TagSource’s high memory passive RFID tag, the AeroTag – will store information that will help track the pedigree of flight certified parts and improve inspection operations.
RFID TagSource recently worked with The Boeing Company on the Air Force automatic received aircraft identification program where RFID tags were attached to an Air Force F-16 to improve air-to-air refueling operations.
