The AeroISU solution, end to end Board diagram: AeroISU (U2) at the centre. On the left, the two BLE tag types it reads — security tags for ISUs and containers, and presence tags for pallets, cargo, and equipment. On the right, the three surfaces it runs on — mobile gateways that collect tag data in the field, mobile apps that carry the field workflows, and the dashboard that consolidates live status.

One connected solution for defense logistics

AeroISU is not a set of separate modules. It is one connected visibility and security-awareness solution.

The result is a practical operational picture: what is present, where it was last detected, what has been inspected, whether a secured asset may have been compromised, and what needs attention.

Operational scope

Visibility across ISUs, containers, pallets, and field assets

Defense logistics involves many asset types moving through different teams, locations, and phases — staged, moved, inspected, opened, resealed, transferred, or recovered under changing conditions.

AeroISU supports visibility for:

  • ISUs and mobility containers
  • Shipping containers and secured logistics assets
  • Pallets and palletized cargo
  • Equipment cases and field assets
Tag strategy

The right BLE tag for the right asset

AeroISU uses different BLE tags depending on the asset and the operational need — so secured assets get security-aware monitoring, while pallets and other assets get lightweight presence visibility.

For ISUs, containers & secured assets

  • Visibility
  • Security Status
  • Tamper Awareness

Asset visibility plus security status, including whether there may have been a tamper, opening, or unauthorized access event.

For pallets, cargo & equipment

  • Detection
  • Identification
  • Movement

Detection, identification, and movement visibility for assets where security status is not required.

BLE Security Tags

Security tags for ISUs and containers

  • Visibility
  • Security Status
  • Exception Records

Security tags add security status to core visibility, so teams can monitor whether a secured asset stayed protected. A security tag helps answer:

  • Was the ISU or container detected?
  • Where was it last seen?
  • Has the asset remained secure?
  • Was there a potential tamper, opening, or access event?
ISU / CONTAINER STATUS FIG. D-2
Security tag & status Security status and an exception alert, on ISUs and containers.
BLE Presence Tags

Presence tags for pallets and other assets

  • Detection
  • Association
  • Movement

Some assets need detection and visibility more than security status. A presence tag helps answer:

  • Was the pallet or asset detected?
  • Where was it last seen?
  • Is it associated with the correct movement or container?
  • Is it missing, misplaced, or in an unexpected location?

No fixed infrastructure

No permanent readers, antennas, or cabling

AeroISU is designed for environments that are temporary, distributed, or constantly changing — warehouses, ports, staging yards, air-mobility areas, and expeditionary sites. It's faster to deploy, easier to adapt, and better suited to operations that can't wait for permanent site preparation.

Mobile gateways

In-transit visibility, not just checkpoint scans

Conventional logistics visibility stops at the loading dock and resumes at the destination. A mobile gateway rides with the load and keeps reporting through the leg in between.

  • In-Transit Visibility
  • Seal Events In Transit
  • GPS-Tagged Events
  • Unattended Reads
  • Store & Forward

Mobile workflows

Field workflows for the people on the ground

  • Inspect
  • Verify
  • Seal / Unseal
  • Photo Capture
  • Exceptions

Field personnel work from the app, leaving a traceable operational record, so supervisors understand what happened and whether follow-up is required.

Distributed search mode

Turn every field device into a sensor for missing assets

When an asset needs locating, the app becomes more than a workflow tool — it becomes a distributed detection layer built from the personnel already operating in the field.

Dashboards

Consolidated visibility for supervisors and command

Supervisors find a specific ISU, container, pallet, or asset record directly. Users can ask:

  • Where was this ISU or container last detected?
  • Which pallets are associated with this movement or container?
  • Which containers have open exceptions?
  • When was this asset last verified?

Expeditionary by design

Built for expeditionary and distributed operations

Temporary staging areas, limited connectivity, multiple users, changing asset locations, assets spread across several operational points: AeroISU is designed for how defense logistics actually operates.

Improve visibility and security awareness across defense logistics

AeroISU helps logistics teams monitor ISUs, containers, pallets, and field assets; search asset records; verify inspections; and identify exceptions. It can also surface potential compromise events early — all without fixed infrastructure.
