Kudelski IoT, a division of the Kudelski Group announced that it has been selected by the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to pilot an advanced asset tracking solution for Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE). DIU's mission is to bridge the gap between the U.S. Military and companies operating at the cutting edge of technology by identifying and prototyping innovative solutions from non-traditional sources to address the nation's toughest national security challenges. AGE assets are critical to the support and maintenance of equipment that includes hydraulic test stands, diesel generators, gas turbine generators, air conditioning units, heaters, jacks, maintenance stands, nitrogen carts, lights, and more.

The current manual process of tracking AGE assets is often inefficient and time-consuming, prompting the DIU to seek innovative solutions to enhance asset tracking capabilities. Kudelski IoT's RecovR, an advanced, battery-powered asset tracking solution, has been rapidly adopted by car dealers across North America since its launch in 2021. The solution has since expanded into new segments, including vehicle fleet management, construction equipment, recreational vehicles, and trailers.

Leveraging its expertise in IoT security, Kudelski IoT has deployed its solution for the DIU at a USAF base, providing real-time location data and a user-friendly graphical interface to improve the efficiency of AGE asset tracking and day-to-day operations.
