INTRODUCTION

Our troopers square measure perpetually protective our country and taking part in vital and very important role. Once the soldier is within the war field it's terribly tough for the military base station to trace the placement of soldier similarly on keep track on his health standing conjointly. Therefore during this project varied sensors square measure employed in order to live great circle and latitude of location and track the precise position of soldier. Whereas GSM electronic equipment can communicate with base station and a message are born to the registered mobile variety which is able to contain all the knowledge associated with. The soldier Tracking and Health Monitoring System permits military to trace this GPS position of soldier and conjointly checks the health standing together with vital sign like body temperature and heartbeats of soldier. The System conjointly consists additional feature with facilitate the assistance of that soldier will evoke help manually or send a sign to military if he wants to. The GPS electronic equipment sends the latitude and great circle position with link pattern with the assistance of that military will track this position of the soldier. The system is incredibly useful for obtaining health standing info of soldier and providing them instant facilitate.

The Internet of Things (IoT): The Internet of Things (IoT) is that the network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to speak and sense or move with their internal states or the external atmosphere. This term was coined by Kevin choreographer of Procter and Gamble, later MITs Auto-ID Center in1999.

Components of IoT: 1. Sensors:According to (IEEE) sensors can be defined as: An electronic device that produces electrical, optical, or digital data derived from a physical condition or event. Data produced from sensors is then electronically transformed, by another device, into information (output) that is useful in decision making done by intelligent devices or individuals.

2. Networks:The second step of this implantation is to transmit the signals collected by sensors over networks with all the different components of a typical network including routers, bridges in different topologies, including LAN, MAN and WAN. Connecting the different parts of networks to the sensors can be done by different technologies including Wi- Fi, Bluetooth, Low Power Wi-Fi , Wi-Max, regular Ethernet , Long Term Evolution (LTE) and the recent promising technology of Li-Fi (using light as a medium of communication between the different parts of a typical network including sensors).

Layers of IoT: There are mainly three IoT layers:

LITERATURE SURVEY

Thanga Dharsni, Hanifa Zakir, Pradeep Naik, Mallikarjuna, Raghu, They proposed framework that can be mounted on the warrior's body to track their wellbeing status and current area utilizing GPS. These data will be transmitted to the control room through distributed computing. The proposed frame work involves small wearable physiological equipment's, sensors, transmission modules. Consequently, with the utilization of the proposed hardware, it is conceivable to execute a minimal effort component to ensure the important human life on the war zone.

Drawbacks- GSM is used which is irrelevant and excessive use of sensors unnecessarily.

Niket Patil, The paper reports an Internet of Thing (IoT) based health monitoring and tracking system for soldiers. The projected system is often mounted on the soldier’s body to trace their health standing and current location victimization GPS. These data are transmitted to the room through IoT. The projected system comprise of small wearable physiological equipment’s, sensors, transmission modules.

Drawbacks- Only hardware approach is used and no use of software systems. Utilization of cloud processing is needed.

Patrik Kutilek, Petr Volf, Slavka Viteckova, Pavel Smrcka, It examines the current technologies and usage of the wearable monitoring systems in military. The article functions as a guide for selecting appropriate and reasonable systems of quantitative analysis of physical and psychological conditions of troopers Drawbacks- System is wearable but with Expensive. High end simulation software’s are required.

Yallalinga, Nirmalkumar S. Benni, upon detection of fall/collapse the sensor system transmits the knowledge, which can be received by the care-taker’s mobile. The detector is a belt formed wearable device consisting of accelerometer (tri-axial) and gyroscope. These sensors are used to classify the posture and dynamics of the user. The main aim is to develop efficient algorithms to notice falls and distinguish between falls and non-falls using these sensors.

Drawbacks- GSM is outdated. Zigbee is employed for wireless communication and it has several limitations like range and obstacles in communication channel.

Zeeshan Raza, Kamran Liaquat, in this paper a smart device for soldier using modern technologies and techniques is developed. This device would be carried by soldier in warfare. The device is able to sense heart beat and body temperature of soldier and transmit the reading on base station whereever the readings are displayed. A small database is organized for storage of readings. Soldier is able to send secret massage on base station. In order to make the reading accurate and precise a formula is designed which is a correlation of body temperature and heartbeat.

Drawbacks- Hardware approach, LCD is not necessary to use if we use software package interfaces. No cloud process. Secret codes are enforced.

Decho Surangsrirat, Songphon Dumnin and Supat Samphanyuth, The objective of this study is to monitor the heart rate, skin temperature and skin humidity of the new recruited soldiers during the last week of multiple weeks training period in high temperature where accumulated fatigue is expected. The measurements are collected during their sleep. Experimental results show an increasing trend of the average resting heart rate in multiple participants. There is an increasing trend of skin temperature in one participant, the data also show consistently high skin humidity for this participant. However, there are two participants with decreasing trend of skin temperature. Average skin humidity measurements are mostly stable for all of the participants.

Drawbacks- Deals with the frustration of soldiers and not actually with health and no tracking is present.

SYSTEM ARCHITECHTURE

Figure 1: System Architecture.

In the diagram, there is flow of our project.

1.

In this system we are going to use heartbeat sensor and Temperature sensor. These sensors are connected with the body of Soldier. These sensors continuously monitor Soldier heartbeat and Temperature. These values are continuously sends to the server side. In emergency case, if Soldier will get injure at that time Soldier heartbeat and temperature should gets either high or low. According to these values Military base Admin can monitor the Soldier and gives backup to Soldier if needed.

2.

GPS module is connected with body of Soldiers. GPS should send values of latitude and longitude regularly. These values are stored at the server database. With the help of GPS module tracking of Soldier is very easy. These sensors are connected with ESP8266 and Arudino. ESP8266 is a wifi model. Because of the Internet of Things (IoT), it is easy to monitor health and track the Soldier from anywhere.

3.

Server collects all real time data from the server. At the server side the history of the values which are collected from the sensor is also saved. According to the current status of the Soldier heartbeat and temperature decision making of emergency backup is taken. With the help of the GPS sensor values tracking of the Soldier is possible. On the basis of these values from server, Military admin can continuously monitor the Soldier and also track the Soldier in war situation.

4.

In the web application, there is the admin module. In admin module, admin should have to login with the valid username and the password. After login admin can see the health status of the Soldier.

Admin should manage the dataset. Admin can monitor all real time values of the sensors according to which admin can monitor current heartbeat, temperature and track the Soldier. Only admin have the authority to track the Soldier. Admin can also monitor the history of the Soldier health. Admin should get alert at the time of emergency.
