DataLase to Help Send RFID Tags Into Space

The marked Intermec parts that survive the 12 month period will return to Earth for further evaluation and testing. Should the DataLase markings perform as expected, the technology will be added to NASA’s list of part identification requirements and will be used to track and trace parts and equipment on future space missions. DataLase systems will also be added to the approved list of identification requirements used by the US Armed Forces. The technology could then be rapidly integrated into existing manufacturing systems within organizations including the US Navy and Department of Defense for the tracking of weapons and equipment.
