Abstract

The paper reports an internet of things enabled monitoring and tracking sensor for military applications. The proposed sensor is specially designed to cater the safety requirements of soldiers on the battlefield. It employs an Aurdino board for its operation along with various sensors to gauge the remote human vital sign. With the help of global positioning system based location tracking, the sensor provided the accurate location of the human subject in terms of longitude and latitude of place. Further, the designed sensor accurately provided the body temperature of the subject under test. This sensor is a low cost, portable and reliable solution for the military applications.
