TRACE

Every asset is a token.
Every hand-off verified.

TRACE replaces paper hand receipts with a Hyperledger Fabric–anchored digital twin keyed to the government UII. EMCON-aware tags log dark mode events to non-volatile memory and reconcile on reconnect — no gaps, no inference. GovCloud-native, integrated with FORGE, AFRL, TCAIMS, IBS, GATES, and CMOS.

The custody record is the weakest link in military logistics.

Issue 01

Hand receipts on paper

Battalion S-4 reconciles dispatch and recovery against a clipboard. When an item is missing, the last verified location is whatever the last team leader remembers.

Issue 02

No EMCON discipline

Tracking tags broadcast position from staging through the LZ. When the team needs to go dark, the option is to throw the tag in a Faraday bag — and lose the audit trail that proves the asset was accounted for the whole time.

Issue 03

No verified chain of custody

TCAIMS, IBS, GATES, and CMOS each hold one slice of the journey. None of them prove the asset that left the depot is the same one that arrived. Disputes over loss, damage, or substitution rely on attestation.

One platform, ten asset classes, every theater.

Blockchain custody

Hyperledger Fabric 2.x with multi-org endorsement. Every transfer requires the receiving party to authenticate independently. The government UII is immutable from mint onward.

EMCON-aware tags

Hardware dark mode interrupts power to GPS, cellular, satellite, and BLE radios. Activation lat/lon and timestamp are written to NVM and submitted on reconnect — never inferred from network silence.

Offline-first mobile

Recovery scans, transfer confirmations, and EMCON events queue locally with AES-encrypted storage. EMCON events sync first when connectivity returns.

FORGE integration

Verified asset state pushes to FORGE in real time via a cross-account API. FORGE asset tiles display a blockchain-verification badge whenever TRACE has a confirmed checkpoint.

AFRL DLT bridge

Dedicated bridge channel mirrors TRACE events into AFRL’s Hyperledger network. Bidirectional translation table maps TRACE token IDs to AFRL asset IDs.

UWB indoor positioning

Qorvo DW3000-based anchor nodes deliver centimeter-level position fixes with a near-zero RF signature. Advisory only — never replaces a human-verified checkpoint.

Reads the four systems that already run your logistics.

TRACE is read-only against TCAIMS, IBS, GATES, and CMOS by default — enrichment, not duplication. The one write path is a TCAIMS ITV update fired when chaincode confirms a checkpoint, so the canonical theater record sees the same truth the blockchain does.

TCAIMS-II

Theater Automated Command and Control Information System

TRACE pulls UIC, document number, priority designator, and requested delivery date. Verified checkpoints push back as ITV updates.

IBS

Integrated Booking System

Transportation Control Number, mode of transport, carrier, and ETA are pulled at sync time so a Class V shipment carries its booking record across the chain.

GATES

Global Air Transportation Execution System

For air-transported assets only. Mission number, aircraft type, departure base, and ETA are correlated to the airlift mission via TCN.

CMOS

Cargo Movement Operations System

Surface and multi-modal cargo, convoys, hazmat. Special handling codes flow through to the operator dashboard so receiving stations know what they are getting.

Bring the chain of custody on-chain.

A 30-minute demo walks through a real dispatch, recovery with a missing item, an EMCON dark period, and the on-chain audit trail that proves what happened.
