Abstract

The fighter Wellbeing and Position Global Positioning Framework allows the military to track the current GPS position of officers and also monitors their health status, including internal temperature and heartbeat. This system also includes an additional feature that enables a soldier to request physical assistance or send a distress signal to the military if needed. The GPS modem transmits the latitude and longitude positions in a connected pattern, aiding the military in tracking the officer's current location. The system is highly beneficial for obtaining real-time health status information and providing immediate assistance to soldiers. In today's world, all nations prioritize their security, and soldiers, as the backbone of any armed forces, often lose their lives due to lack of medical aid during emergencies. Furthermore, soldiers engaged in missions or special operations might become disoriented on war fields, losing contact with authorities. To address these concerns, we developed this project. By utilizing a Wireless Body Area Sensor Network (WBANS) consisting of temperature and heartbeat sensors, we can monitor the soldiers' health status whenever necessary. Additionally, through GPS, we can track the precise location of the soldiers as needed. The use of an oxygen level sensor enables us to monitor the environmental conditions so that necessary aid can be provided by medical professionals. Communication between the soldiers and medical personnel is established via the Internet of Things (IoT). Any anomalies detected by the Remote Body Area Sensor Network (WBASNs) act as triggers for the IoT device to establish a connection between the soldier and the base unit, transmitting current location and health status to the receiver. To effectively convey this data, we have employed this equipment to create a cost-effective, lightweight, portable, and accurate defense system for soldiers.
