Wireless Mesh Communication Using ZigBee Technology for Military Applications

Dineshkumar Jaiswar, Sanjna S. Repal

Abstract: Military forces are very essential part of the security system of a country. During, wars and search operations, our soldiers get injured and many of them become lost. Soldiers are the savior of our nation who protects us from enemy attacks, terrorist activities and from many suspicious activities which can harm the civilians and the nation too. Thus, Soldiers health is very important to us. We have implemented a project which has an ability to track the location and monitor health of the soldiers in real time, who become lost and get injured in the warfield. This system will help to save the time, search and rescue operation efforts of army control unit. The location tracking and health monitoring of soldiers by army base station is done by using GPS module and wireless body area sensor networks (WBASNs), such as temperature sensor and heartbeat sensor. The data coming from Sensors and GPS receiver through microcontroller is transmitted wirelessly using ZigBee module. Also, a soldier can get help from army control room and can communicate with other fellow soldier present within the wireless transmission and reception range using Panic Switch in unfavorable conditions. The wireless communication network is created by ZigBee transceivers using ZigBee Mesh Topology.
