An aircraft cargo locating system determines the location and weight of
aircraft cargo placed in unit loading devices. A wireless tag, such as an
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag is affixed to each of the
loading devices. The system receives information from the tags, and from
the information calculates the location of the loading devices and the
weight of the loading devices. The system is able to calculate weight and
balance parameters to assist in the loading process.
