SOLDIER HEALTH MONITORING AND POSITION
TRACKING USING LoRa COMMUNICATION
HEALTH MONITORING POSITION TRACKING
INTRODUCTION
The soldier must be integrated with advanced healthcare
monitoring, real time GPS (Global Positioning System)
and data communications to send and receive
information to/from the control unit.
WBASNs
and
GPS Module
SYSTEM
Hardware Components:
•Arduino MEGA 2560
•Heartbeat Sensor
•Temperature Sensor and Humidity Sensor (DHT11)
•Accelerometer (ADXL335)
•Ethernet Shield (W5100)
• GPS Module (NEO-6M)
•ZigBee Module (XB Series 1)
• LoRaWAN Module
•Bomb Detector (IED i.e. Improvised Explosive Device)
• ECG Module (AD8232 i.e. Electro-Cardiogram)
Arduino MEGA 2560
➔54 digital I/O pins.
➔16 analog inputs.
➔The Arduino Mega 2560
is a microcontroller board
based on the
ATmega2560
(datasheet).
GPS Module
The GPS module for
Arduino is a small
electronic circuit that
allows to connect to your
Arduino board to get
position and altitude, as
well as speed, date and
time on UTC (Universal
Time Coordinated).
Zigbee Module
Zigbee is for high-level
communication protocols used to
create personal area networks such
as for home automation, medical
device data collection etc.
LoRaWAN Module
➔ LoRaWAN permit
inexpensive, long-range
connectivity for Internet of
Things (IoT) devices in rural,
remote and offshore
industries.
➔ Range: 2-5km (Urban),
15km (Sub-Urban).

NETWORK ARCHITECHTURE
✓we can conclude that we are able to transmit the
data which is sensed from remote soldier to the
squad leader and other soldiers using ZigBee
transceiver and from the squad leader to the
control unit using LoRaWAN as the wireless
transmission technology. This system helps to
monitor health parameters of soldier, track their
position and detect nearby bombs.
✓It will prove to be very useful to military forces
during war and rescue operations as it can be used
without any network restriction combining the
capabilities of ZigBee and LoRaWAN. Thus, this
system provides security and safety to our
soldiers.
CONCLUSION

▪ search and
▪ rescue operation
