Abstract - Army is one of the most important aspects of
defenders who protect our country. In today’s world
any country. It is our duty to equip soldier with better
enemy warfare is a important factor in the nation’s
advanced technology . This paper helps to track the soldier
security. The national security mainly depends on army
at any given moment using GPS. In this paper, soldier’s

health parameters such as heart rate and body
vital role is played by the army soldiers. There are

As soon as any soldier enters the enemy lines it is very

vital for the army base station to know the location as

module is then communicated to the military base station
we have come up with an idea of tracking the soldier as
by the use of GSM. This information can be used to devise
