Abstract

The article analyzes wireless sensor networks and identifies their advantages and disadvantages when used for military purposes. It is proposed to consider the architecture of the network based on a four-level model, which consists of the level of sensors, data channels, data processing and applications for creating various types of services. This creates a versatile and effective set of instruments for solving various tasks of special purpose for military purposes. The structure of a wireless sensor network for military use is considered in detail, taking into account the variety of sensors and their purpose. It also emphasizes the importance of compact and efficient sensors for military purposes, which contain means of digital information processing, receiver and transmitter, including measurements of electromagnetic waves, light, pressure, sound. The possibility of creating sensor fields based on unmanned aerial vehicles and their use for security and information gathering is noted. Data link parameters are detailed, including signal strength and signal level at the receiving end. The importance of space scanning radars for ensuring the safety of unmanned aerial vehicles in the conditions of wind speed and obstacles is noted. The article points out the problems of energy and computing resources when using sensors, in particular, the limitation of energy consumption and the length of the information transmission channel. Methods of rationalizing energy consumption by aggregating data and using clustering protocols are proposed. The main idea of the article is that the use of wireless sensor networks for military purposes requires attention to architectural details, sensor selection and power consumption optimization to ensure effective and reliable use of this system for its intended purpose, which will lead to the successful completion of the task by the unit. Therefore, the main advantages include the simplicity and flexibility of deploying sensor fields and the prompt receipt of information directly from the contact line, which is the key to a quick response to the enemy's actions.
