Soldier Monitoring System

A soldier monitoring system using Arduino enhances safety and operational efficiency by tracking vital signs (heart rate, body temperature, oxygen levels) and location in real-time. The system includes an Arduino microcontroller, vital sign sensors, a GPS module, a communication module (GSM or RF), and a battery pack, all integrated into wearable gear. Data collected is processed by the Arduino and transmitted to a central command for real-time monitoring, triggering alerts for abnormal conditions. This allows for quick response to health issues, informed decision-making, and improved mission planning, while challenges include ensuring battery life, data security, and system durability in harsh conditions.
