Huge Demand for Internet of Battlefield Things Industry

The Internet of Military Things (IoMT) is a class of Internet of Things for combat and warfare. It is a complex network of interconnected units or "things" in the military field that continuously communicate with one another to coordinate, learn, and interact with the physical environment in order to perform a wide range of activities more efficiently and in a more informed manner.

The concept of IoMT is largely based on the idea that future military battles will be dominated by machine intelligence and cyber warfare and will likely take place in urban environments. By creating a miniature ecosystem of intelligent technology that is able to distill sensory information and autonomously control multiple tasks at the same time, the IoMT is conceptually designed to deal with much of the physical and mental stress that warfighters experience in a combat environment are, is relieved.

Various terms have been introduced over time to describe the use of IoT technology for reconnaissance, environmental surveillance, unmanned warfare, and other combat purposes. These terms include the Military Internet of Things (MIoT), the Internet of Combat Matters, and the Internet of Battlefield Matters (IoBT).
