Abstract

This paper describes the model of ZigBee wireless network employable in the battlefield. Wireless sensor network (WSN) technology has been known for scalability, carefree operation and easy installation. This proposed scheme is planned to adopt ZigBee wireless sensors network in the battlefield scenario using mesh and other network topologies within the remote large-scale environment based on the military requirement. Many sensors types are developed to save the soldier life under various critical situations, different infrastructure of battlefield and dynamic fighting environment in the theatre of war.
