An Internet of Things-based system for tracking a soldier's position and health during combat operations is one technological advancement that makes it possible to monitor a soldier's whereabouts and health in real time. The system goals are to protect soldiers and improve their effectiveness in combat. The system utilizes various sensors and devices such as heart rate monitors, temperature sensors, GPS, and accelerometers to gather data on the soldier’s vital signs and movements. This data is then transmitted wirelessly to a central monitoring system, which analyzes it and provides real-time feedback to the commanding officers. By monitoring soldier’s vital signs, the system can quickly identify any health issues that may arise, such as fatigue or dehydration, and alert the appropriate medical personnel. The system also tracks soldier’s positions and movements, allowing commanders to make informed decisions about deployment and resource allocation. All things considered, a position tracking and health monitoring system for soldiers based on the Internet of Things is a useful instrument for ensuring their safety and wellbeing in combat
