Experimental Validation

This chapter details experimental validation of IoT technologies for military use. It covers field testing of LoRaWAN signal coverage in urban settings, assessing impacts of distance, data rate, and gateway placement. Security techniques, including symmetric (AES) and asymmetric (ABE) encryption and access control on constrained devices (Arduino/Raspberry Pi) utilizing TPM/QRNG, were evaluated. Body Area Networks (BAN) with wearable sensors were tested for physiological monitoring and automated combat triage support via ontology-based reasoning. Large-scale demonstrations integrated COTS/civilian IoT (smart city data, MQTT middleware) with military C2 systems (ATAK, NGVA), highlighting interoperability challenges and solutions.
