In context to the national security, military personnel are involved in treacherous environment. Situations involving reconnaissance, espionage, border warfare, border security force etc. Soldiers toil in different terrains due to which their body temperature changes. Hence to tackle this problem, “SMART MILITARY JACKET” can be implemented. This system will be useful for soldiers who involve in special operations or missions. The data is obtained by providing certain threshold value. This data should be sent to the central command or the base, so the medium used here is GSM (Global system for mobile).Body temperature of a soldier is monitored with the help of a temperature sensor. Heartbeat of the soldier can be monitored by using a pulse sensor. The system also consists of some extra features using which the soldier can ask for a help by sending a distress signal to the military if he is in danger. A GPS tracking system is also attached to the jacket which helps in tracking the position of the soldier. This may help the control station to know about the soldier’s location in real-time. To monitor the system, a control unit called ARDUINO is used. Hence this project aims at implementing the basic lifeguarding system for soldier in low cost and high reliability.
