Low Cost Equipment for Military Vehicle Location in Forest Areas

Abstract

Knowing the location of military personnel and vehicles plays an essential role in military operations, especially when these operations take place in jungles or places of dense vegetation. In this article, the use of the GPS network for the positioning of military vehicles is proposed, in addition, this location is reported through the Iridium satellite network. After the tests, the location of the device is sent, received and stored, with an approximate error of 2m using geodesic points to verify the accuracy of the equipment.
