Email: Abstract : In current world scenario the security of a Navigation System the base station can guide the Soldier nation is the uttermost important factor and hence enemy to reach the desired destination.

2 The main essence of warfare plays an important role. The security of any nation this project is that it is an Internet of Things (IOT) Based depends on the military, army, air-force and navy of the project. IOT systems are systems that consist of country and the backbone of all these forces are our interrelated machines(mechanical or digital), computing soldiers. Without the Soldier it would be nearly impossible to protect a nation. But there are many concerns revolving devices, animals, peoples and other objects which have around the security of these soldiers, especially the army unique functionalities and using the IOT their data can soldiers.

3 Even today when the world is at its prime for be transferred from one place to another over the technology development, the army is still using network without the computer to computer and human rudimentary techniques especially when Navigation to computer intervention. The relevance of IOT in technology is taken into consideration. When the Soldier Soldier Navigation and Health Monitoring System is that enters into the war zone, it is essential for the base station the real time location and Health parameters of the to determine the exact location and the Health status of the Soldier on the battlefield are instantaneously sent to the Soldier and hence more emphasis should be given to base station without the Soldier having to input anything.

4 Navigation and Health Monitoring technology for the soldiers in the war torn zone. In this project the exact The IOT makes the entire Monitoring process fast, location and the Health status parameters of the Soldier can efficient and the decisions can be taken in less amount be sent to the base station in real time so that the of time. The Raspberry Pi 3 is used as a gateway for appropriate actions can be taken in case of crisis. This displaying the sensor values over a server known as technology helps to minimize the rescue, time and search Thingspeak.

5 Also, Raspberry Pi 3 gives better protection operation effort of army rescue control unit. This System and isolation from stray intrusion. uses GPS module and wireless body area sensor network to record all parameters in real time and send it to the base II. RELATED WORK. station. The different types of sensors used in this System are the humidity sensor, temperature sensor and pulse Shruti Nikam and explain in this paper the tracking sensor which help in deciding the Health status of that of the location of the soldiers when they enter the enemy particular army official.

6 This is a wearable technology land. For tracking their location GPS(SR87 series). which is the most important factor of this project. module was used which is highly sensitive and it can Key Words: Embedded Systems, Rasberry pi 3, Ardiuno, track upto 20 satellites at a time that helps in finding the Zigbee, Sensors, Navigation , GPS, interfacing, accurate position of the Soldier . Along with tracking the Communication paper also incorporates the Soldier safety and security aspects such as Monitoring the blood pressure and I. INTRODUCTION temperature of the Soldier .

7 LM35 sensor and pulse rate The combined unit of Hardware and software constitute sensor was used that are not very complex and can be an Embedded System which is also integrated together easily fitted in a tiny device. ARM processor (LPC2138). to build a System which helps in design goals like speed which follows the principles and basic theory of on a 32. and efficiency. The main advantage of embedded bit ARM7 TDMI-S CPU and which gives a very high systems is the flexibility to choose desired hardware and speed communication. ARM processor is interfaced with software components to design the desired System which graphical LCDs to display various parameters like performs the desired task.

8 This project is Based on the height, speed, body temperature and pulse rate [1]. above mentioned merits of the embedded System . There Richard B. Marth and have introduces an integrated is a necessity to develop a wearable technology which Navigation System for the soldiers. DRM( Dead isn't bulky and dissipates very little power in the Reckoning Modules) and GPS constitute the main defence sector so that the location and vital Health components of this integrated System . For decades, the parameters of the soldiers can be tracked in real time soldiers have used all the conventional basic tools such when he is on the battlefield.

9 Using this Soldier as compass and other Navigation tools while they are on their mission. DRM replaces the need for a compass as it _____. ISSN (Online): 2347-2820, Volume -5, Issue-1, 2017. 39. International Journal of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Systems (IJEECS). _____. allows reliable and hands-free Navigation . DRM consists rate, blood pressure and body temperature. The System of an analog circuit and a digital circuit. Analog board consists of two sections: transmitter section (patient's has magnetometers, accelerometer, temperature sensor side) and receiver section (doctor's side).

10 The patient is and a barometric altimeter. These components are useful wirelessly monitored and all the data from biomedical to determine the horizontal component of magnetic sensors are transmitted to microcontroller unit Arduino field, number of steps taken by soldiers, temperature etc. Uno and then Zigbee module is used to transmit this RS232 serial interface ports are used by DRM for data to receiver section which is present in the doctor's communication. Kalman filter is used in integration cabin. LCD is used at both the sections transmitter mode that makes use of both GPS and DRM.
