The ARMS armory management system functions as a digital registry for monitoring weapons, equipment, ammunition, personnel, certifications, and positions, incorporating bar coding and RFID technology to facilitate quick assignments, issuances, and returns, while also enhancing security measures to deter unauthorized weapon removals. Originally created for the U.S. Department of State to oversee the distribution of weapons, gear, and ammunition to embassies and agents around the globe, ARMS has since been tailored to meet the distinct needs of military and law enforcement for improved armory management. This software is a mature and reliable COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) solution that has undergone continuous development since its inception in 2007, allowing it to be customized to meet the specific demands of each client. ARMS is versatile enough to be employed in various settings, including warehouses, depots, fixed armories, and mobile units. In addition to tracking the inventory, ARMS also monitors weapon maintenance activities, test firing, inspection, and cleaning schedules, as well as managing officer qualifications and weapon certifications to ensure compliance and readiness. As a comprehensive tool, ARMS not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes significantly to overall security and accountability within armory management.
