In this paper, a system is designed and implemented, keeping in mind the safety and efficiency of the soldiers. The system will monitor various vital signs of the soldier to ensure his safety and will also help him to execute his mission. Location tracking is also embedded in the system to know about a soldier's exact location. The system is implanted in a wearable jacket for the convenience of soldiers. In the system, the ESP 32 cam module is used with various sensors like heart rate sensor, DS18B20 etc. Data collected by the system will be sent to the server and stored in databases. This is very sensitive data, and thus, if it gets into the enemy's hands, it can be fatal. So, for transmitting this data, encryption is used. This data will be analyzed and will be displayed on a private website in graphical formats, adding accuracy, complexity, results etc.Addressing the statements and issues discussed above, this paper was designed to overcome all of them.

It elucidates the design, implementation, and further discussions regarding the same. In the upcoming chapters, an in-depth literature survey is discussed, which serves as the basis of the research and development of this project. After reviewing multiple papers, a strategic way of implementation and novelty were understood. In further sections, an in-detail description of the implementation and working of the model is given, with the required diagrams. Along with that, a section also covers the results obtained from the implementation, in an illustrative way.
