I. Introduction
Defence can be considered the backbone of national security for every country. In the modern world where new technologies are emerging on a daily basis, the field of Defence has also gone through a lot of advancements. When the Internet of things (IoT) emerged, it found its application through connecting various heterogeneous elements [1] like ships, tanks, drones, and planes with operating soldiers which builds a cohesive network that can improve environmental awareness, enhances risk assessment and reduces the response time. “The Internet of Battlefield Things [1] involves the full realization of pervasive sensing, pervasive computing, and pervasive communication, leading to an unprecedented scale of information produced by the networked sensors and computing units.” The interesting aspect here is that these technologies have made use of edge computing to identify the devices that are deployed in the environment. In a sense, it can be seen that the applications of cloud computing and its other sub paradigms have been employed in the field of Defence. Considering these aspects, the fog computing aspect involved in this work can be used to address the overhead components normally involved for a wireless communication and how the data analysis can be done faster when fog/edge can be used to replace the cloud.
