The mission of Product Manager Joint-Automatic Identification Technology (PM J-AIT) is to provide a single point of contact for procurement and technical expertise across the suite of AIT enabling technologies that support focused logistics, total asset visibility (TAV), and the integration of global supply chains for the Department of Defense (DoD), United States Coast Guard (USCG), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Coalition Partners, other Foreign Military Sales (FMS), other Federal Agencies, and contractors in support of DoD activities.
