Cloud-Based Infiltration Detection System for Military Purposes

Introduction

With the increasing number of incidents of infiltration across borders, it is imperative for countries to enrich their troops with automated anti-infiltration systems. In recent few years, the defense funds of countries in the world are mammoth (see Table 1) and increasing over years. It is evident from the history of evolution of Information Technology that several I.T. tools and technologies emerged from defense applications e.g., ARPANET paved the way of modern Internet which plays a very vital role in today’s time. Likewise the assignment problem was first applied during World War-II by Britain as it has limited number of soldiers to protect its borders. By using assignment problem Britain’s army effectively optimized the allocation of soldiers. Today, assignment problem has many other useful applications in Computer Science in solving various problems. Popularly, there are four types of clouds (public, private, hybrid & community), which offer three types of services- Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service and Software as a Service (Chang et al.; 2013).
