Abstract: Abstract Military logistics is undergoing a fundamental transformation, which aims to more rapid deployment. As important part of military logistics, ammunition supply chain management is still in rather primitive state not long ago. This paper summarizes technological advantages and limitations of RFID, analyzes status of ammunition supply chain management and gives benefits and problems from RFID. RFID-based system design is made to improve ammunition supply chain management and achieve asset visibility. Finally, some concluding remarks are given.
