Smart Helmet for Soldier Protection in War Field

Abstract

This paper deals with a Zigbee based status monitoring and tracking system for soldiers. The goal of this paper is to create a gadget that will allow the base station to keep track of all of its soldiers' status and specific whereabouts, as well as assist them in difficult situations. As a result, this technology will aid in the saving of many troops' lives. In today's world, when the human race is attempting to develop sophisticated technology to make our jobs simpler, troops, who are the most essential element of the nation, are still unable to make significant progress. Soldiers are the backbone of a nation 's security, and the nation's and people's conditions would be unfathomable without them. However, it is still unable to offer them security. When a soldier is sent to a war field we must be able to assist soldiers in problematic situations. For that, the base station should use advanced
technologies. The proposed system can be mounted on the soldier's helmet to track their status and current location using GPS. This information will be transmitted to the control room through the Zigbee module. In this pape r , GPS technology is used which will help to send messages to the base station in the real time scenario. Different sensors are used such as Helmet monitoring IR sensor, Air quality sensor, and helmet collision sensor which will keep track of soldier's status. The output of the different sensors can be read which will ease the monitoring of soldiers. The proposed model comprises tiny wearable physiological equipment, sensors, and transmission modules. Hence, with the use of the proposed equipment, it is possible to implement a low cost mechanism to protect valuable human life on the battlefield.
