IoT Firearm Security System · Hardware + Software Innovation
The Smart Weapon is an innovative hardware project that integrates embedded technology with firearm safety mechanisms. The system uses biometric authentication and smart control logic to prevent unauthorized weapon usage, addressing a critical security and public safety challenge.
Unauthorized access to firearms remains a significant global safety concern. Traditional mechanical safety mechanisms can be bypassed. The Smart Weapon introduces a technological barrier — ensuring only authorized users can operate the weapon.
