DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A LIGHT WEAPON REGISTRATION INFORMATION SYSTEM CASE STUDY OF MINISTRY OF DEFENSE ABUJA

ABSTRACT

A Light weapon registration information system is concerned with the computerization of societal light weapon records in the light weapon registration Department in order to achieve the aims and objectives of the organization.  The entrance of computer into the Light weapon registration information system will help create and maintain efficient records. Arms Control, attempts through treaties, proclamations, convention, and tacit agreement to limit the destructiveness of war by controlling the acquisition and use of weapons and military technology. Historically, warfare appears to be an integral part of human affairs. In 3,000 years of recorded history, most historians believe that not a single year has been free of armed conflict. Yet people have always recognized the folly, waste, and inhumanity of warfare and have continually attempted to limit its devastation and the spread of increasingly destructive weapons. The design was implemented to facilitate the Light weapon registration information system for administration.  It will be less time wasting and cheap to run. It is expected that if full consent is given to this, it will enhance the Information of Light weapon registration record of the administration.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

This project work is primarily designed to give an insight to Computerized Light weapon registration information system.

Chapter one talks about introduction to Computerized Light weapon registration information system, study of problem and objectives as well as definition of the scope.

Chapter two comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the design and implantation of new system.

Chapter six documents the project work, while chapter seven summaries, conclusion and suggestions were made.
