GlobeRanger, a Fujitsu company
/

Every weapon accounted for, with or without a network.

GlobeRanger keeps a true record of weapons, ammunition, and equipment, from the armory to the field. It has done so in defence for more than twenty years, and it keeps working where there is no connection at all.

The armory is the hardest room in the building.

An armory has to do two things that pull against each other:

  • Release the right item to the right person in seconds
  • Prove afterwards, beyond doubt, who took what and when
  • Hold that record while stock moves between depot, vehicle, and field

GlobeRanger binds the asset to the person at issue and return, reads the tags already on the stock, and writes a timestamped record that cannot be altered afterwards. Where the four eyes principle applies, the system enforces it.

All of it runs at the edge. A bunker, a depot with no coverage or a site deliberately kept off the network keeps a complete record, of the conditions ammunition and explosives are stored in and of the conditions they have been stored in, and reconciles when the connection returns.

It writes into what is already in place, SAP and SASPF included, and reuses the barcodes and RFID already installed. Nothing is ripped out.

Two decades in defence, on the record.

A track record in defence is the one thing a supplier cannot acquire quickly. Certifications can be bought, people can be hired, a product can be renamed. Twenty years of deployments cannot.

The US Department of Defense RFID mandate

On 30 July 2004 the US Department of Defense requires its suppliers to use passive RFID. That creates the market in which the deployments below take place.

US Defense Distribution Center

GlobeRanger iMotion Edgeware goes into service across Defense Distribution Center sites under a contract with Psion Teklogix. The Defense Distribution Center is the distribution arm of the Defense Logistics Agency. The contract is worth 1.8 million dollars.

US Navy, Pearl Harbor and Kaneohe Bay

Naval Supply Systems Command puts iMotion Edgeware into service, with GlobeRanger working as a subcontractor to SAIC for the Navy's Automatic Identification Technology programme.

DSEI London and TECH Heilbronn

Fujitsu shows GlobeRanger at DSEI in London in September 2025. A stage talk at TECH in Heilbronn follows at the end of May 2026.

A German defence manufacturer, ammunition and explosives storage

A German small arms ammunition manufacturer running GlobeRanger in production, with ammunition and explosives stored in former bunkers, hazard classes 1.1 to 1.4, one installation per bunker. Staff enter a site with no connection at all and confirm by scanning that the right stock is in the right place and nothing has moved.

The customer has asked not to be named.

The entries in this chronology rest on publicly available publications. The last entry rests on information from the customer, who does not wish to be named.

What a deployment includes, and who already runs one.

The capability set is the same whether it protects a single locker or a formal armory.

What an armory deployment includes.

The capability set is the same whether it protects a single locker or a formal armory.

  • Issue and return with the person bound to the weapon or the ammunition.
  • The four eyes principle enforced at the point of issue, not documented afterwards.
  • Tamper evident, timestamped custody records that stand up in an audit.
  • Condition monitoring of stored stock, including temperature, humidity and shock.
  • Biometric validation at the point of issue where it is required, such as palm vein or fingerprint.
  • Integration into the systems already in place, SAP and SASPF included, with no replacement of what runs today.
  • Complete operation offline, on closed and private networks, and in places with no connection at all.

Richardson Police Department: security equipment permanently accounted for.

The police force of Richardson, Texas tracks its security sensitive equipment with GlobeRanger, from badges and uniforms to weapons and vehicles. A check that once took months now runs continuously. The force named GlobeRanger's defence record as its reason for choosing the system.

How a defence programme starts.

The four stages are the same everywhere. What differs in defence is who has to be in the room and what has to be approved between them.

Demo call

13 or 26 minutes

A video call with the GlobeRanger team. One question: does GlobeRanger fit your operation?

Bootcamp

1 to 3 daysCredited

One to three days at your site. We work out which stock carries the risk, whether it starts at one armory, one depot or one storage site, and what a pilot would cover.

Pilot

6 to 12 weeks

A trial run on your own use case, at one armory or one depot. Where the site is off network, the pilot runs offline from day one. GlobeRanger proves that it works in your operation, not on a slide.

Performance Mode

ongoing

The rollout across sites, depots, or the whole materiel organisation, scoped and priced on what boot camp and pilot made concrete.

The first step costs 13 minutes.
