This paper presents an overview of defense related applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The operational context of modern military engagement has diversified into four scenarios, which set requirements and constraints upon applications of WSNs. The sensor types and their capabilities determine and constrain the application of WSNs. We classify military applications of WSNs according to operation scenarios and sensor types, and describe key classes. We also discuss research and engineering issues for future generations of military WSN applications.
