Navigating Vulnerabilities: RFID Technology in Firearm Management—A Comprehensive Analysis

This research paper discusses the multifaceted landscape of RFID technology and its application in firearm management. Since its inception in 1915, it has found widespread use across various industries due to its versatile capabilities [1]. This study focuses on its integration within the military context for firearm control. Despite its widespread adoption, RFID technology is not without vulnerabilities. This paper highlights dichotomy, its significant benefits and notable security concerns, and the means to implement this technology more safely. Through a detailed case study, we provide a tangible illustration of RFID's impact on firearm management while elucidating potential pitfalls. The background section offers an in-depth exploration of RFID technology, providing insights into its adoption rationale within the military, the intricacies of its vulnerabilities, and the subsequent apprehensions that led to its rejection for firearm control [1]. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the complex interplay between technology, security, and decision-making in firearm management.
