3.  Today our world is facing one of the big threats of
terrorism. A very recent attack on our country which
can never be forgettable is 26/11 attack on Mumbai.
Terrorists armed with deadly weapons such as AK-
47, grenades etc attacked the mob killing hundreds.
These terrorists were using weapons from falling into
wrong hands & strengthen our defense system, many
engineers & technologists have come up with an idea
to authenticate weapons by providing acess of the
weapon to valid user.

4.  Terrorists used weapons which are smuggled
illegally. Hence stopping weapons from falling into
the wrong hands is a major problem for law &
enforcement agencies.
 To protect these weapons new technique is evolved
i.e. weapon authentication.
 Weapon is a tool used to destroy the enemy or used
for self defense.
 Authentication gives the meaning of authorization.
 Weapon Authentication is summarized as a technique
used for authorization of weapon.

5.  Terrorists& underworld criminals use stolen
weapons which are smuggled & used illegally.
 People who own guns for their personal use may face
problems as Kids at home unknowingly may make
childish use of guns.
 Many times during fight criminals may steal
Policeman’s gun & use them illegally.
 These problems ask us to think about developing
safety & security mechanism for fire arms so that
only authorized users can use the weapon.

7.  Here the authentication can be done using RFID tag
& reader.
 Licensed user will be provided with a tag with
specific user ID.
 When weapon is set to validation RFID reader reads
RFID tag.
 RFID reader sends the read data to microcontroller
chip where authorization of user is checked.
 If a person is authorized the microcontroller unlocks
the gun by instructing magnetic locks.

9.  Here authorization of user can be checked by using
finger print scanner.
 Finger print of user is scanned by finger print
scanner.
 Scanner sends the data to microcontroller chip where
authorization of user is checked.
 If a person is authorized the microcontroller unlocks
the gun by instructing magnetic locks.

10. a) The O’dwyer’s VLE smart gun
 Electronically fired gun & launcher design.
 Multiple barrels with multiple rounds stacked in
each barrel.
 It allows user to select b/w different types of round.
 No mechanical parts involved.
 Validates the exact finger print of the user.

12.  It is a new computer chip promises to keep police
guns away from firing if they fall into wrong hands.
 It uses RFID technology.
 This tiny chip is implanted b/w the shoulder & elbow
area of user’s hand.
 Chip needs no battery or power source.

14.  Reloading mechanism is tedious for VLE guns.
 Scanning device could malfunction.
 Veri chip may get lost or may get smashed during
fight.
 The system can be hacked & reprogrammed.
 Weapon usage cannot be traced.

15.  In today’s world technology has advanced to great
extent.
 Many concept which were impractical to hear have
now become reality.
 In this modern world developing smart weapons
would be a hope for better future.
 In future illegal training of weapons may come to an
end.
 Developing smart weapons will also help armies &
federal bodies in fighting crimes in better ways.
