Can Nanotechnology Protect Military Equipment in Transit?
Peter Suciu / Aug 13, 2019
Last month it was reported that a crew of international con artists allegedly convinced a U.S. defense contractor to ship out millions of dollars worth of sensitive military hardware. In 2017, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) made up a fictitious law enforcement agency website and address and was able to convince the Department of Defense to supply more than a million dollars in military equipment.
These two stories highlight how military equipment is all too often shipped out without any way of it actually being tracked once it leaves the warehouse. In the case of the scammers, who used fake IDs and a phony shipping address, they made off with merchandize worth more than $10.6 million, including $3.2 million in classified gear.
