Abstract

Today's military voice radio systems were not designed to provide the bandwidth required by today’s multimedia data flows, particularly video. Worldwide, armies are looking for broadband radio access solutions to their tactical needs, and are testing Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions such as WiMAX. Wireless Sensor Networks which is a type of wireless network consist of small nodes with capabilities of sensing physical or environmental conditions, processing related data and send information wirelessly. These WSN Dense deployments of disposable and low-cost sensor nodes make WSN concept beneficial for battle fields. In Military Applications, the literature discusses WSNs usage for tracking missiles and other possibilities include using WSNs as a military monitoring network for surveillance purposes to monitor large areas against intruders and send alerts and information about intruders using NS2. Some military applications of WSNs are:

Monitoring friendly forces, equipment and ammunition.

Battlefield surveillance

Exploration of opposing forces and terrain

Targeting

Battle damage assessment

Nuclear, biological and chemical attack detection

Keywords
