One of the important and vital roles in a country's defense is played by the army soldiers. Every year Soldiers get strayed or injured and it is time consuming to do search and rescue operations. In this paper, we present a WSN-based environmental and health monitoring approach in which sensor data is processed using robust and stable algorithm implemented in controller. These processed data are then sent to the base station via low-cost, low- power and secure communication links provided by a LoRa network infrastructure instead of cellular networks, since, they are either absent or doesn't allow data transmission in warzone or remote areas. We focus on monitoring environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, air quality; physical factors such as motion, position, geographic location and health parameters like ECG (electro cardiograph), blood oxygen level, body temperature. Moreover, camera and microphone are used to monitor any undesirable situation of soldier. The aim of the system is to reduce the response time for any emergencies with the use of embedded system and WBASN, while being power efficient.
