IOT Based Soldier Navigation and Health Monitoring System

Abstract-In current world scenario the security of a nation is the uttermost important factor and hence enemy warfare plays an important role. The security of any nation depends on the military, army, air-force and navy of the country and the backbone of all these forces are our soldiers. Without the soldier it would be nearly impossible to protect a nation. But there are many concerns revolving around the security of these soldiers, especially the army soldiers. Even today when the world is at its prime for technology development, the army is still using rudimentary techniques especially when navigation technology is taken into consideration. When the soldier
enters into the war zone, it is essential for the base station to determine the exact location and the health status of the soldier and hence more emphasis should be given to navigation and health monitoring technology for the
soldiers in the war torn zone. The exact location and the health status parameters of the soldier can
be sent to the base station in real time so that the appropriate actions can be taken in case of crisis. This
technology helps to minimize the rescue, time and search operation effort of army rescue control unit. This system
uses GPS module and wireless body area sensor network to record all parameters in real time and send it to the base
station. The different types of sensors used in this system are the humidity sensor, temperature sensor and pulse
sensor which help in deciding the health status of that particular army official. This is a wearable technology
which is the most important factor of this project.
