FAQ


What is (ARUD)?

ARUD (Arms Recovery Unit Device) is a smart firearm monitoring and recovery system designed to prevent unauthorized access and theft. It uses GPS tracking, tamper alerts, video/audio capture, and real-time notifications to protect families and communities.

How does ARUD stop unauthorized firearm use?

If a firearm is moved, tampered with, or stolen, ARUD immediately sends alerts to the owner, designated emergency contacts. Its built-in sensors capture time, location, images, and audio—dramatically improving recovery odds and preventing misuse.

Will ARUD affect the normal use of my firearm?

No. ARUD is designed to be discreet and non-intrusive. It only activates if unauthorized movement or tampering occurs. Responsible firearm owners can use their weapons as normal..

How does ARUD differ from current gun safety campaigns?

Unlike traditional awareness programs, ARUD provides a tangible, real-time solution. It doesn’t just spread messages—it actively prevents unauthorized access, theft, and potential tragedies.

What happens if a thief removes ARUD from the firearm case?

Even if removed, ARUD will have already captured critical evidence (time, place, visuals, and audio). Since most thefts occur within a 10 km radius, recovery rates remain high.

Is ARUD only for law enforcement?

No. ARUD is built for responsible gun owners, families, law enforcement, and communities. Anyone who owns a firearm or is responsible for securing one can benefit from its protection.

Where is ARUD being developed?

ARUD is a Canadian-developed technology, created in partnership with leading industrial designers and safety experts. It is positioned as a world-class innovation in firearm safety..

When will ARUD be available?

ARUD is currently in advanced development, with prototypes scheduled for testing prior to large-scale manufacturing. With community support and federal partnerships, distribution to the public is projected soon.

ARMS RECOVERY UNIT DEVICE SYSTEM

National Firearm Safety Initiative (NFSI)

What is the mission of the National Firearm Safety Initiative (NFSI)?

The NFSI’s mission is simple yet urgent: to protect families and communities by funding, developing, and deploying smart technologies that prevent unauthorized firearm access, theft, and tragic misuse. We believe less talk and more action is the path to saving lives.

How does NFSI differ from other gun safety organizations?

Many organizations focus on awareness and advocacy. While these efforts are important, NFSI goes further—we invest directly in tangible solutions like the ARUD (Arms Recovery Unit Device). Our focus is on real-world impact, not just conversation & awareness.

What are the main goals of NFSI?

Develop and deploy life-saving firearm safety technology

  1. Reduce child access to unsecured firearms

  2. Prevent stolen guns from fueling crime

  3. Support families with tools, not just slogans

  4. Partner with communities for measurable safety outcomes

How will NFSI measure its success?

We will measure success by lives saved, thefts prevented, and firearms recovered. With every prevented tragedy, every recovered weapon, and every child kept safe, NFSI achieves its purpose.

How can the public support NFSI’s mission?

Anyone can help by donating, volunteering, spreading awareness, or becoming an “NFSI Hero.” Every contribution fuels the development of innovative technology that protects families and ensures real gun safety reform.
