ABSTRACT
Information is power, nowhere is this truer than on the
battlefield, where the ability to communicate clearly and
rapidly pass on information spells the difference between
survival and death? 4G (4th Generation) is the technology
that is going to drive a soldier in the field in future. The key
to empowering the military with tactical broadband voice,
video and data is 4G communications technology. This
technology adopts Wireless technology on the platform of
fixed networks, Advanced antennae technologies and More
advanced wireless security technologies. Next thing is about
the gear for the future warrior. Our system provides a
enhanced power of vision, which provides Ground
Guidance, Unit Detection, Soldier Status, Target Hand-Off
and provides the Soldier Rescue during the battle. The
uniform along with the armor, onboard computer which will
monitor soldiers' overall physiological and psychological
picture of how they are performing in the battle zone and
enhanced human performance which weighs 50 pounds
from head to toe against 120 pounds of the current day
system present.
1.INTRODUCTION
The new systems include a weapon, head-to-toe individual
protection, onboard computer network, soldier-worn power
sources, and enhanced human performance. "The Future
Warrior will be a responsive and formidable member of an
invincible battle space team". The Future Warrior system
will meet the more immediate, short-term demands of our
fighting warriors in the battle space, and will remind you of
an ominous creature out of a science fiction movie.
2. TECHNOLOGY
The approach will support military operations across a spectrum
of environments from backpacks to ships. The key technology
supporting these initiatives is ad hoc peer-to-peer wireless
networking (ad hoc p2p), also known as a mobile mesh network.
Ad hoc p2p operates by taking a collection of mobile terminals
(such as handheld devices and vehicular systems) that
communicate directly with each other without the aid of
established infrastructure. Ad hoc networking provides a self-
organizing and self-healing network structure. Multi-hop routing
terminals act as routers and relays for each other, and extend the
range and coverage of communications links between individual
soldiers, troop transports and command centers. This is
1 Deploy-ability with little or no fixed-
infrastructure : Military engagements are often
spontaneous, and a communications solution needs to be, as
well. 4G Warriors bring their networks with them, and take
them away when they leave. Network setup automatically
begins the minute troops exit a transport, helicopter or ship.
3.2 Geo-location well beyond the limitations of GPS
: Soldiers cannot afford to expose themselves on a
battlefield to acquire GPS coordinates. GPS is also limited
in that satellite signals cannot penetrate caves, underground
bunkers or inside shielded buildings. Ad hoc p2p wireless
has built-in geo-location using an extremely accurate form
of triangulation. The 4G Warrior can triangulate his or her
position, or that of another soldier, based on mesh-enabled
vehicles or other devices, even when hiding in caves or
otherwise out of harm_s way. Readings are faster than GPS
(under a second) because soldiers don_t have to wait for
multiple satellites to acquire a fix.
3.3 Security : The device security must address both
communications security (COMSEC) and a way to protect
the network from unauthorized use if the device is captured.
Communications are more secure when mesh networks
allow for route diversity. Meshed architectures also allow
devices to transmit at lower output power to neighbours
rather than _Shouting_ at a cell tower.

routing of traffic around downed links.
This lowers the probability of detection and increases
battery life. Should a device be captured, the 4G Warrior can
blacklist that device to maintain the integrity of the network.
3.4 Anti-jamming robustness : The 4G Warrior is
neither dependent on a single frequency nor constrained to a
military band. These self-forming, self-healing networks
will have the ability to instinctively and proactively reduce
the probability of jamming. Communications devices must
operate while vehicles or soldiers are mobile, even at speeds
in excess of 100 mph. 4G Warriors can receive real-time
streaming video from aircraft, such as the Predator
Drone flying over a battlefield. Multi-tap rake receivers
minimize the effects of Doppler radar to maximize the impact
of theater air assets.
3.5 End-to-end IP : Modern soldiers grew up with
computers and will demand the same applications and user
interfaces available to civilians. The 4G Warrior, using instant
messaging, can send photos of enemy positions back to the
camp for analysis, and use voice over IP to communicate with
nonmilitary phones in an occupied city.
4.4G ON THE BATTLEFIELD
All of the battlefield network devices including those embedded
in tanks or other vehicles will instantly form, heal, and update
the network as users come and go. That is, they will associate in
an ad-hoc manner. Moreover, the devices will automatically
and continuously optimize network connections as users merge
in and out of the network at will. As intelligent elements, all of
the
devices will constantly reconfigure routing tables to determine
the best network routes and, unlike cell-based solutions,
network coverage and service levels will improve when soldier
density increases. The network resources are better utilized
because networks are self-balancing, as well. The soldiers_
subscriber devices can hop to distant network access points,
away from points of congestion, shifting network capacity to
meet demand. Network deployment will be fast and easy
because it is tower less. Communication systems providing the
backhaul and the network will disappear as fast as it was
formed once soldiers leave the area. The 4G battlefield will be
entirely mobile, with satellites or other. This technology could
function as a personal are network (PAN), local area network
(LAN), or wide area network (WAN), simultaneously. This
means that the same network can connect a soldier to the squad
or platoon, to the battalion, and to a fully mobile division. It is
the equivalent of a Bluetooth, 802.11, and 3G convergences,
but in a single network, with a single device.
CONCLUSION:
Here we have used the next technology of mobile
technology- 4G for creating a fool proof system that can be
used at any place by a military force in the future. This
system can be used to provide intelligent communication
cum detection system using which every soldier can be
virtually connected to a network that will be monitored by a
mobile unit. Since the 4G technology is yet to become a
reality the system may look very simple but as the
technology will be implemented a more complex and cost
effective system could be designed.
