The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command has given Qualcomm Inc.‘s [QCOM] Untethered Asset Management Service Defense Transportation Tracking System (DTTS) II certification, qualifying the company’s customers to transport DoD sensitive and other DTTS-monitored shipments. Qualcomm says that DoD is mandating that satellite tracking service providers support greater in-transit visibility for commercial carries transporting ammunition, arms and explosives and other sensitive materials shipments. The mandate also states that these carries must provide trailer tracking technology while under a DTTS-monitored van trailer load and be prepared to do so by Feb. 15, 2010.
