A Safer World Starts
with Smarter Firearms
Shaping a future where integrated technology is the foundation of firearm safety, responsibility, and security.
Each year, more than 380,000 firearms are stolen in the U.S. - including up to 5,000 from law enforcement agencies, which face no legal requirement to report these losses.
Only 17 states require you to report the theft of a firearm.
An estimated 40% of gun thefts go unreported—leaving tens of thousands of stolen firearms unaccounted for each year.
Today’s firearms have basic mechanical safeties, but that’s no longer enough.
They lack the integrated technology needed to give owners, whether military, law enforcement, or civilian, the ability to track or remotely disable a weapon when it matters most.
When a firearm is lost or stolen, it doesn’t disappear. It ends up in the wrong hands -putting lives at risk, threatening communities, and undermining national security.

Core Features
-
Authorized users can lock and unlock the firearm remotely using a mobile app. If the weapon is lost, stolen, or involved in an altercation, it can be disabled instantly.
-
The weapon communicates when it’s moved unexpectedly and continuously relays its location via encrypted channels.
-
The firearm can be automatically locked when entering sensitive areas (e.g., schools, hospitals) or if it exits designated safe zones.
-
Real-time data logs and usage history allow for after-incident analysis and improved operational oversight.
