ABSTRACT In today’s era enemy warfare is an important factor in any nation’s security. The national security mainly depends on army (ground), navy (sea), air-force (air). The important and vital role is played by the soldiers. There are many concerns regarding the safety of these soldiers. The defense department of country must be effective for the security of that country. This system will be useful for soldiers, who involve in missions or in special operations. This system enables GPS (Global Positioning Systems) tracking of these soldiers. It is possible by M-Health. The M-health can be defined as mobile computing, medical sensors and communication technologies for health care. In this system, smart sensors are attached to the body of soldiers. This is implemented with a personal server for complete mobility. This personal server will provide the connectivity to the server at the base station using a wireless connection. The paper reports an Internet of Thing (IOT) based health monitoring and tracking system for soldiers. The proposed system can be mounted on the soldier's body to track their health status and current location using GPS. These information will be transmitted to the control room through IOT. The proposed system comprise of tiny wearable physiological equipment's, sensors, transmission modules. Hence, with the use of the proposed equipment, it is possible to implement a low cost mechanism to protect the valuable human life on the battlefield.
