Abstract
The effective execution of self-defense functions in military operations relies on the careful development of strategic plans, as well as the use of advanced equipment and support systems that meet current standards. In this regard, military boots play a crucial role. Enhancing military readiness and self-defense requires significant attention to the design of uniforms, particularly boots. Military boots that are currently used in arm forces are functionally limited, serving only to facilitate human movement without providing additional support for operational needs. Soldiers often face challenges such as the inability to charge essential equipment, like flashlights, in the absence of electricity, and the risk of unknowingly entering minefields. This research introduces a conceptual design for military boots that integrates energy harvesting and mine-detection capabilities. Equipped with an advanced sensor system, this footwear can detect and signal the presence of nearby landmines. Additionally, through the integration of specialized transforming components, the shoe can facilitate the safe traversal of mined areas when necessary. This innovative design offers a practical solution to enhance soldier safety and operational efficiency in high-risk environments. It also offers the ability to illuminate the path when necessary. The design is grounded in modern scientific research, studies, and articles published in reputable journals.
