A Military Surveillance System

Another critical role within the defence system is played by soldiers. Ensuring their security in the combat area should be of primary concern. One of the major problems in today’s military confrontations is keeping an ongoing connection and awareness of the situation, which will reduce the need to carry out search and rescue missions for soldiers, affecting both their physical and mental health. In this research, the use of a Military Surveillance System using IoT and LoRa WAN is proposed to provide safety and efficiency in soldier operations by tracking each soldier based on their actions in the field operations or night-time area patrols. It allows for real-time tracking of the soldier’s physiological vitals, location, and environmental factors, detecting any environmental changes and their impact on the soldier. It also provides secure and long-distance communication between the soldier and the base station. As a result, the headquarters receives complete information about the field environment, making decisions faster and more efficiently, ultimately leading to fewer losses and higher chances of successful mission outcomes.
