Design of a Positioning and Tracking System for Paratroops Team

In today's world, wireless communication became the master use in any technology that need transferring of data between devices in far distant places. The problems of paratrooper when they reach the land they are scattered and can't find each other's position quickly. Sometimes paratroops don't find their equipment that is thrown from the plane to the ground. The main objective of this study is to overcome these problems. In this work every paratrooper must carry a mobile device. The methodology includes three steps first, receiving the position of the paratrooper from Global Positioning System (GPS), second displaying the position in the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and then send it to the main paratrooper through X-bee wirelessly, third the main paratrooper sends all these data to the central computer located in afar place from all paratroops. The central computer monitoring the paratrooper team's positions in the map continuously while they are moving. The design helps in minimizing the information gathering time, reduce the information transfer time between paratroops and increases safety in the land. In addition to that the new device is less weight and circuit complexity. The study recommends further more analysis and design features added in addition to improve the security using encryption techniques to this positioning and tracking system using Nano circuitry so that the whole device to be in a size of hand watch or less.
