Cost Efficient Location Tracking and Health Monitoring System for Soldier Safety

Soldiers are the cornerstone of modern warfare, which makes their security of highest priority. Therefore concerned authorities need to track a soldier’s current location along with monitoring health status when required. The basic guarding system for a soldier makes use of a global positioning system (GPS) to track the location. It continuously measures health parameters such as body temperature, heart rate, etc., and transmits these collected data to the military base by using a global system for mobile communication (GSM) modem. In this paper, we have proposed a system to provide a cost-effective solution so as to deliver accurate data with minimum delay/latency, using which the concerned authorities can mobilize a rescue operation for the soldiers.
