Soldier Monitor

For efficient strategizing during a war, it could be very helpful if the military base station is continuously appraised about the number of soldiers alive on the war front. This paper proposes a device to be attached to the shirt of the soldiers stationed at the battlefield. We have carried out the software simulation of this device: whose operation can be broken down into two stages. The first being the sensing stage, comprising monitoring of the ECG signal using electrodes glued to specific locations on the body using the Einthoven leads system. The second stage encompasses wireless transmission modules: GSM and signal passed through instrumentation amplification and filtration stages is continuously monitored by the microprocessor. In the event of death of the soldier, the microprocessor detects the ECG fla the dead soldier; tracked by the GPS module is then communicated to the military base station by the use of GSM. This information can be used to devise war strategies as to how many more soldiers (and where) should be deployed to replace the martyrs.
