Towards friendly force tracking with MQTT over LoRa
Abstract
With the steady growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the civilian commercial sector, the question arises as
to whether such IoT concepts can also be used for defense purposes. Military needs, especially those that depend
on tactical communications, can be regarded as more challenging to solve than the needs that are focused on in
the civilian sector. Therefore, one can expect that much of the work done in the civilian sector cannot necessarily
be used directly for military purposes and that targeted research and development in this eld will be required
to enable e ective deployment. This paper explores using Raspberry Pi 3 and the Long-range Radio (LoRa)
protocol as an IoT platform for friendly force tracking with the light-weight, industry standard Message Queuing
Telemetry Transport (MQTT) publish/subscribe protocol.
