If you are headed to the AUSA Annual Meeting this year, be sure to visit the Army G-4 exhibit at booth 2131. Its six stations of logistics technology and high-tech tools are guaranteed to capture your attention.
In coordination with the Logistics Innovation Agency, the exhibit will feature:

<b>The Low-Cost Low-Altitude Parachute</b>
Another method of aerial resupply that is currently used in Afghanistan to resupply units in remote locations
<b>The Unmanned Robotic Forklift</b>
A system whose name says it all, this forklift is still under development, but will provide great benefits to warehouse management once fielded
<b>Condition-Based Maintenance Plus</b>
A proactive equipment maintenance capability that can identify and predict functional failure
