IoT Based Solar E-Uniform for Soldiers

Abstract

The soldiers working in harsh weather conditions are better protected by solar-powered E-Uniforms. The E-internal uniform's electronics is powered by solar panels. 12 V DC lead acid battery, Energy is stored using a rechargeable battery. Additionally, we use a typical battery charging machine to deliver power to the circuits. The ESP32 microcontroller, which manages every function, is the brains of the circuit. In order to display the voltage generated by the battery on a 16X2 LCD, a voltage sampler is interfaced with the system using an ADC inbuilt in the ESP32.Both a summer and a winter operating mode is used for the project. Control operations through advance ICs so that it can drive the body heater/cooler by choosing the mode of operation. To enable the soldier adapt to any type of external climate, we will use the heater or cooler to deliver a warming or cooling effect within the uniform.The metal sensor will alert the soldier with a buzzer indication if it finds a metal-like explosive. The microcontroller and IOT are interfaced, and the GPS is also interfaced, allowing for the tracking of the entire soldier. Additionally, the location is messaged to the department or person of interest. The soldier will be able to work in any area thanks to this uniform.
