Which types of Radio Frequency Identification tags are available for use to the Department of Defense?

The Department of Defense (DoD) primarily utilizes three types of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags: passive, active, and semi-passive tags. Passive tags, which are powered by the RFID reader's signal, are commonly used for inventory and asset tracking. Active tags, equipped with their own power source, are ideal for tracking larger items over longer distances. Semi-passive tags combine features of both, using a battery to power the tag's circuitry while still relying on the reader for signal transmission, making them suitable for various applications within the DoD.
