Weapon’s Tracking Solution with RFID Technology

Background
Proper maintenance and tracking of weapons are important tasks for any security forces. United States Navy was deployed in Afghanistan for a long period which is why the armoury department implemented a data collection system RFID technology for the scientific management of weapons. Department found Chainway’s RFID mobile computers the most suitable device for armoury tracking as it proved to be a more powerful and accurate tool for weapon tracking, sailor identification, issue & return report, scheduled maintenance, etc.

Challenges
  1. The manual method of issue & return of weapons was time-consuming and error-prone. Weapons were identical and their serial number could be easily tempered. Thus, management could miss identifying the weapon.
  2. Department deployed heavy work force to maintain records for weapons. But, real-time data of weapons were not available for armoury department.
  3. Quick access to maintenance records was not easy and accurate, which lead to improper maintenance of weapons.

Solutions
To realized intelligent weapon tracking, US Navy department selected Chainway’s C5000 mobile computer. The device was integrated with RFID and barcode scanner. Armory department designed a sophisticated solution to provide the best tracking system for a modern army. The weapon issue, return and maintenance data could be maintained by using RFID mobile computers. A mobile computer read the tags pasted on the weapons and upload the captured data on main servers.

Application Details

Weapon Tracking and Tracing
A unique tag was allocated to every weapon. An officer equipped with the Chainway’s C5000 mobile computer could read this tag to identify when a particular weapon was issued to which sailor. In case, if the weapon was not returned timely then the department could notice the concern sailor for this.

Maintenance Log
With automatic data capturing solution, the maintenance of weapons could also be realized. The concerned department used the weapon data to records the maintenance details of all the weapons. The department could identify when routine maintenance is due for weapons, any problem encountered in weapon during operation, records of post repair testing of weapons, etc.

Sailor Management
All the data of sailor was pre-stored in mobile computers such as name, image, department, post, ID cards, etc. At the time of collection and return of weapon, C5000 RFID reader could be used to identify the sailor and record this action in the database in real-time.

Effects
  1. This single device can be used for multi-task which include weapon’s security and real-time audit of the armoury.
  2. The device is proved to be a great tool for armoury department as it is not only maintaining a record of issue and collection of weapons but also provide maintenance records before issuing the weapon to the sailor.
  3. Timely replacement of weapons is possible with the availability of real-time data.
