In todays world the security of the nation depends on our countrys soldiers being safely

identified from the intruders like terrorists or other countries militants. There are many
instruments being developed, concerning the soldiers safety which helps to identify their
location, view their health status as well as ammunitions on the soldiers. But personally
identifying the soldier and to check whether any kind of drug has been consumed(or forcibly
given), when they try to communicate among their peers or superiors is an area which still needs
some more improvement. The proposed iris based secure soldier tracking system helps in
identifying both of them mentioned earlier. Current technology uses code words and speech/
voice recognition techniques. Both could be easily spoofed by the intruders (code words could be
guessed or tracked and voice could be mimicked).
Methodology
In the proposed system, a biometric scanner will be included in the walkie-talkie device,
whenever a soldier A wants to initiate a communication with soldier B; he can scan his iris
using the scanner present in the walkie-talkie and can send it for verification to the central
station. This will establish a communication call from A to B. Once B receives the call, he
will be able to accept it only if he scan and send his iris to the central station. Then a
communication will be established between them. In the meantime, the scanned iris patterns of
both A and B will be converted to a digital encrypted template and sent for verification to the
central server station. Once verified, identity of A will be updated to B and vice-versa. If the
identity doesnt match an alert message will be sent to all the neighboring camps about the
intruder. Using this system, the cholesterol level of the soldiers and drug consumption status also
can be identified.
In general, iris scanners take a digital photo of the iris pattern and a digital template
consisting of iris code will be created. This code cannot be re-engineered or reproduced in any
kind of visual image. Thus Iris recognition helps in providing the highest level of defense against
identity theft, which is one of the most rapidly growing crimes in recent years. If the cholesterol
level is high, an annular ring will be formed around the iris, with of the help of which high
cholesterol level can be identified. Similarly based on the dilation and constriction level of the
pupil and iris, drug consumption status can be identified. Many iris scanners(cameras) are
available today which provides infrared illumination to capture iris patterns without causing any
discomfort or harm to its users.
