Abstract:

This project's basis as an IoT based system contains the secret to its success. IoT systems enable seamless data transfer across networks without the need for direct human or computer involvement by connecting diverse machines, devices, animals, and objects. In the context of Soldier Navigation and Health Monitoring, IoT plays a vital role by enabling the real-time transmission of soldiers' location and health data to the base station without any manual input required from the soldier. This IoT integration greatly enhances the efficiency and speed of the monitoring process, enabling prompt decision- making in critical situations.

1. Introduction

   The armed forces of tomorrow swear to the newest technology in the modern world which we have ever observed. The Military Services are quickly moving and approaching new inventions with more development now-a-days. Soldiers play a crucial role in warfare, serving as protectors of our nation. Their physical well-being is of utmost importance in ensuring their ability to fulfill their duties effectively. To safeguard their lives, it is vital for the base station to know their precise location and monitor their physical condition. In this project, we present an innovative solution that focuses on tracking soldiers' exact locations using GPS technology. This information allows the base station to plan and

   strategize accordingly. The project combines hardware and software components to create an embedded system, offering flexibility in choosing the appropriate components to achieve speed and efficiency in performing the desired tasks.
