Abstract

This paper aims to propose a weapon tracking system. In order to achieve this objective, a bibliographical research was carried out regarding weapons used by the Police and Army Forces, as well as the use of Internet of Things (IoT) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for this type of application. The analysis was carried out based on the correlation of the literature with the proposal of tracking weapons through based on the presented technologies. The control begins inside the manufacture, where the tag is installed in the weapon and allow its monitoring throughout the utilization. In case of any type of tampering, the weapon can be damaged and with the usability compromised. The proposal also addresses the interoperability with legacy systems currently in use in Brazil - SIGMA and SINARM – in order to rely on more consistent data, as well as increase efficiency to control the shipping of weapons in controlled and public environments. The study directly aims to contribute for a solution for the traceability of weapons and indirectly to the generation of innovations to reduce violence.
