LoRa (Long Range) technology has emerged as a highly efficient low-power wireless communication standard capable of supporting long-distance data transmission, making it suitable for defense and critical monitoring applications. In modern military operations, continuous health monitoring and accurate geolocation of soldiers are essential to ensure safety and enhance mission outcomes. This study presents a low-power LoRa-based soldier safety mechanism that integrates biomedical sensors with GPS tracking for real-time data acquisition and transmission. The system utilizes sensors to measure vital health parameters such as heart rate, pulse rate, and body temperature, while GPS provides precise geolocation data. All collected information is processed by a microcontroller and transmitted through a LoRa transceiver to a base station for continuous monitoring. In emergency situations, anomalies in health readings or the activation of a panic button generate immediate alerts, enabling faster medical response and tactical decision-making. The proposed design demonstrates a reliable, cost-effective solution to safeguard soldier lives and optimize battlefield strategies.
