Establishing a Soldier Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Communication for Military Operation Monitoring

Abstract

The study investigates and develops components for implementing an effective and efficient military knowledge/information/communication in closed network architecture. Since military personnel are always on the move, the dissemination of knowledge/information/communication needs a mobile platform to accommodate mobility of people. The mobile and wireless network platform should be able to sustain the remoteness and seclusion of military operation areas. Communication is one of key problems of a military operation especially due to environmental constraints. This study proposes on establishing a future soldier communication device with mobile wireless sensor network (WSN) and mobile network to suit the infantry operations in the jungle. The operational areas are considered to restricted and challenging locations. Wireless sensor network (WSN) will become inexpensive and common over the next decade Thus, a thorough study is vital to develop the most suitable smart equipment and network requirements for Malaysia’s military eco-system. Finally, this study has successfully developed new smart device prototype using WSN approach for Military operation. In addition, this prototype can be used for Search and Rescue (SAR) operation. This prototype is able to transmit death and location status, movement location status, health monitoring and status to the base station.

Lightweight route adjustment strategy for mobile sink wireless sensor networks

“…However, even with limitations a group of sensors together can build an effective wireless sensor network (WSN) for operations requiring durable operations. These facts introduced the WSNs as an up-and-coming technology together with numerous different applications, such as structural health monitoring [1], intrusion detection [2], border surveillance [3], activity recognition [4], intelligent transportation [5], disaster control [6], unapproachable places monitoring [7], and etc. The primary objective of the WSN is to gather information by observing the surrounding environment and detect any unusual events or observing some environmental variables.…”

Fuzzy-Logic-RSSI based approach for cluster heads selection in wireless sensor networks

“…As future IoT applications would require power efficient usage, wireless network transmissions should operate reliably and efficiently in order to be able to be utilized for long periods of time. Studies regarding wireless networks have evolved during the last decade with numerous deployments on wireless sensor networks (WSNs), mostly comprising tracking and monitoring applications [1][2][3][4].…”

Neuro‐fuzzy and fuzzy schemes for cooperative communication in wireless sensor network: a military battlefield scenario

“…In war zones, keeping up the correspondence between military commutations nodes is a key need when the nodes are assaulted by foe troops. In such an adverse situation, it is very difficult to maintain the survivability of wireless sensor network (WSN) for military communication [2]. However, the exchange of information can be encouraged by cooperative communication.…”
