Abstract
Modern military operations demand real-time monitoring of soldier health and movement to ensure mission success and timely medical assistance. Traditional RF or GSM-based tracking systems suffer from short range, high power consumption, and network unavailability in remote combat zones. This paper presents a low-power Soldier Health and Position Tracking System using LoRa-based wireless communication and IoT technology. The proposed wearable unit continuously measures critical parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, and soldier motion while transmitting GPS location to a command station using long-range LoRa transceivers. Data is displayed on a monitoring dashboard for real-time tracking and emergency alerts. The system demonstrates high transmission range, low power usage, and reliable performance in outdoor environments, making it suitable for defense and rescue operations.
