The armed forces, public security, guards and security agencies firearms, military supplies, application of electronic tags to achieve informatization management recommendations

As the future direction of the military’s efforts, informatization construction, regardless of which branch it belongs to, has included the development and utilization of information resources as the core informatization construction work on the agenda of military construction.

The new military revolution centered on information technology is causing a profound change in the military field. The essence of this change is the transformation of the mechanized military form of the industrial society to the informationized military form of the information society. With this historic change, military informatization has become an important means of accelerating the modernization of the military, and it has also become an important part of the modernization of the military.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is an automatic identification technology that has matured from the 1980s. It has many advantages over other identification technologies such as traditional barcodes. It stores a larger amount of information, and its storage content can be dynamically changed. , Reading targets is farther away, and can identify multiple targets at the same time. Its automatic, real-time recognition capability is especially suitable for the military management requirements of personnel, vehicles, ordnance, and materials.

At present, the most representative foreign military application of RFID technology is the US military. The U.S. Department of Defense’s application of RFID technology stems from the needs of modern warfare: During the 1991 Gulf War, the U.S. shipped about 40,000 containers to the Middle East, but due to unclear identification, more than 20,000 of them had to be reopened and registered. , Package and put into the transportation system again. After the war, more than 8,000 opened containers remained unused. Later, the US military estimated that if RFID technology was used to track the whereabouts of logistics materials and obtain a list of the contents of the container, it would save the Department of Defense about 2 billion US dollars in expenditure. After the Gulf War, in order to solve the serious practical problems in the process of claiming, transporting, and distributing materials, the U.S. military provided rapid and accurate logistics support to combat troops. It proposed a visualized asset management plan with the purpose of realizing asset management in logistics support Highly transparent. The application of RFID technology makes it possible for the U.S. military to realize the transparency of logistics materials, and provides a convenient and flexible solution for automatically obtaining visualized information about materials in storage, in transit, and in use.

RFID technology has been widely used by the US military in the field of military logistics support, such as the specific item search system, the visualized management system of materials on the way, the electronic medical record card of individual soldiers, and the management of ordnance materials in and out of warehouses, which have greatly reformed the traditional logistics tracking methods. By adopting RFID technology, the average logistics supply time of the US military has been greatly shortened.

In the 2003 Iraq War, the U.S.-British coalition used RFID technology to build a visualized logistic network, which made the U.S. military’s logistic supply capabilities unprecedentedly powerful. The U.S. military can easily grasp all real-time information on logistic supplies; the British military also uses this network. , So that up to 90% of logistics materials can be efficiently transported to the front line. Compared with the situation during the Gulf War in 1990, this is a far cry from the situation.

In the Gulf War, the US military used radio frequency identification tags installed at assembly points in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Yemen to obtain real-time logistic material availability. During operations, the U.S. military’s logistics supply line also uses mobile radio frequency identification readers to ensure that supplies to the front line arrive on time, and use automatic identification technology to shorten the time in the process of handing over supplies and inventory, and the benefits of logistics supply fully use.

The U.S. Department of Defense continues to use radio frequency identification technology, which has been extremely effective in military logistics, and has helped the U.S. military complete the following tasks:

• Increase productivity through automation and limit manual intervention to avoid human error

• Achieve complete visualization of the supply chain

• Eliminate excess inventory (application for excess supplies)

• Obtain fast logistics management and real-time supply chain dynamic data

• Speed ​​up the transportation of logistics materials from the factory to the foxhole and improve the control of transportation

• Reduce redundant data entry and improve data accuracy

Chapter 2 Overview of RFID System

The long-distance radio frequency automatic identification system uses radio frequency signals to realize contactless information transmission through spatial coupling and realizes the automatic identification of items in different states (moving, stationary) through the transmitted information, thereby realizing the automated management of targets.

The system can carry out network management according to different management requirements, and realize the network application of long-distance radio frequency identification. The reading equipment of this system adopts ultra-high frequency shortwave frequency (transmitting and receiving frequency 902-928MHz) to realize reliable full-duplex wireless data communication.

The electronic tag adopts an embedded microprocessor, and under the control of the embedded software, it realizes functions such as sleep, wake-up, decoding, encoding, communication and information collision processing. The reading device can identify multiple targets at the same time; the system can reliably identify 100km/ h fast-moving target, the recognition distance is not less than 5 meters, there is no blind spot for recognition, no microwave radiation damage to the human body, strong signal diffraction and penetration, high information security and confidentiality performance, easy operation and use, and can be adapted to a variety of different Application Environment.

This system is designed for the automation and informatization of the management of military firearms and military supplies, and is mainly used for automatic identification management of military firearms in and out of the warehouse.

The system uses modern computer technology and RFID technology to realize automatic identification and information management of military firearms. This system can effectively, accurately and intelligently automatically identify, collect, record, upload information on firearms entering and exiting the warehouse, and perform maintenance information on firearms. Quick inquiry and statistics have established a digital information management system for military material management.

?? Automatic identification and registration of firearms information when the firearms are in and out of the warehouse, such as the name of the firearm, the model of the firearm, the number of the firearm, the time of entry and exit, the person who handles it, the person who approves, etc.; and control the flow of firearms;

?? The system will verify the identity and authority of the applicant. When there is a discrepancy, the system will automatically alarm;

?? Provide query, analysis and statistics, printing and other functions to improve the level of information management;

Chapter 4 System Flow

?? Due to the special nature of the military, there are many urgent tasks, plus the daily maintenance of firearms, etc. The specific circumstances are very different, and it is difficult to achieve one-to-one correspondence between firearms and commanders. Therefore, in terms of firearms management, you should consider establishing a company platoon leader to be responsible. System, that is, taking guns and returning guns are united by a platoon, and each company platoon leader is issued an identification card, which is shown when taking the gun or returning the gun, and the card number is recorded into the system. The returned firearms and equipment are associated with each other for easier management. (Note, the company platoon leader does not need to be present in person during each operation, and other commanders can be assigned to operate with a card.)

?? The firearm administrator first logs in to the system during operation, and this login identity can be used as the “approver”.

?? The officers and fighters who carried out the operation of retrieving the guns showed the company platoon leader identification card, and their identification information was automatically registered (if the identification fails, such as the card expires, etc., the request can be rejected).

?? After identity registration and identification, personnel can enter the firearms depot. During the process of taking out the gun, the system will automatically scan and identify the firearms and equipment when they take the gun out of the door of the firearms depot; At the door of the firearms depot, the system automatically scans and recognizes the firearms. The identified firearms information is associated with the previous personnel’s identity, and the authority is judged, and the judgment is correctly recorded in the database. In addition, in the gun retrieval process, after the system automatically recognizes the firearms and equipment, the firearms administrator selects the type of reason or enters a note, etc. The information is saved in the database together with the identification information.

?? According to the information scanned and identified by the system, if irregular operations are found, such as incorrectly fetching firearms and equipment belonging to other companies, the system will alarm.
