The aim of the project is to develop an electronic uniform for soldiers. The system has a cooler and warmer system inside it. The cooler/ warmer are powered through a peltier module. To run this system, we are using solar energy is obtained stored into the battery through charging circuit.   Soldiers are very important people who always strive for the security of the country. They are supposed to work at extreme temperatures (very high or very low temperatures). This will lead to health damage. So, a E- uniform is designed to avoid adverse effects caused due to temperature changes.   The controlling device of the project is PIC microcontroller. Metal sensor, GSM, GPS, panic switch,peltier plate,buzzer and Relays along with peltier plate and cooling fan are interfaced to PIC microcontroller. Microcontroller will switch on the peltier plate to provide the hot/cool to the soldier at inside of the jacket.When the person presses the panic switch, microcontroller will take the location from GPS module and sending this location to the predefine mobile number through GSM modem in the form oflatitude and longitude values and upload the data into the thingspeak cloud through ESP8266 WI-FI module.The status of the project will display on LCD module.This uniform consist of contains metal detector, if the sensor detects metal this data process to the microcontroller, then microcontroller will activate the buzzer for alerts.All this equipment is placed in soldier jacket and solar panel on the soldiers cap.solar energy is obtained stored into the battery through charging circuit. Battery power is used to run this system.To achieve this task microcontroller lode program written in embedded C language.
