Military Applications of Satellite Based IoT

The Internet of things (IoT) is one of the emerging technologies which promises a lot of solutions in almost all the fields of engineering. Its applications are very attractive for complex situations. In defense, several complex problems and situations are encountered. These problems and situations haw to be resolved in a short span of time. Several mission-critical situations are very common in the defense sectors. IoT also provides solutions to these mission-critical problems. Integration of satellites with the IoTs is a win-win combination for many complex problems. In this article, the hybridization of IoTs and satellite networks can provide excellent results which were not possible in the past is shown. The utilities of this elegant combination are provided for handling the complex problems of the defense sectors. A few practical cases are also provided where satellite-based IoTs play critical and valuable roles. Finally, for the long term sustainability of this combination, one of the resource-efficient versions of the IoTs, mainly narrowband IoT (NBIoT) is focused on. NBIoT and satellite combination can be sustainable in the long term is shown.
