Soldier Tracking and Health Monitoring System using LabVIEW

Defense services play a prominent role for country welfare. Technological advancements in defense services are swiftly growing to reduce the human loss. Health of soldiers plays a prominent role because they are the defenders who safeguard our country. During war some soldiers get injured and some may lose their lives. This project gives rise to a new concept of tracking the location of soldiers and also the health condition of them in the battlefield, which helps the commanders at base stations to sketch the war strategies. For the army base camp, it is mandatory to advise the soldier on the right path in the battlefield if he was lost. To locate the exact geographic position (longitude and latitude) of soldiers we use GPS receiver. It receives the signal and compares it from encircling GPS satellites to determine latitude and longitude of the soldier. At the Army bastion it gets the location of soldiers via GSM and the physical body condition of the soldier is monitored and the current health status is also sent to the base station with help of GSM. GPS, [5] which is useful for base stations to know the exact geographic position of soldiers and accordingly they will mentor them also by using high-speed, short-range soldier-to-soldier wireless communication devices to transmit instructions on present circumstances and provide awareness. The necessary things which are used in our proposed system are biomedical sensors, GPS receiver, wireless communication devices. Biomedical sensors used for measuring physical parameters like temperature, heart rate. We also use a fire sensor for detecting the fire.
