Augmented Security Framework using Internet of Things for Tracking Improvised Explosive Devices

Abstract

Terrorism and the proliferation of explosives or improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have plagued many parts of the world. This is an issue of serious public and security concern across the world. One of the innovations like the Internet of Things (IoT), with the inherent ability to sense and propagate information about its environment with neighboring nodes in a network, has shown great promise in remotely providing monitoring and tracking information of suspected harmful substances. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Robotics, etc. promises even more deliverables for the future in securing our world. This paper proposes a framework that leverages the IoT for continuous dynamic tracking of IEDs, overlayed with augmented geospatial details for guiding security agencies. The proposed framework would serve as a design and implementation guide.
