  The use of IoT-related technologies is growing in several areas. Applications
of environmental monitoring, logistics, smart cities are examples of
applications that benefit from advances in IoT. In the military context, IoT
applications can support the decision-making process by delivering information
collected directly from the battlefield to Command, Control, Communications,
Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems.
Taking the benefit of the installed IoT network in the battlefield, the use of
the data collected by the IoT nodes is a way to improve resiliency and increase
the survivability of networks, as well as to optimize the use of available
resources. Towards improving the communication network present on the
battlefield, this work presents a context-aware environmental monitoring system
that uses real-time battlefield information to increase military networks'
resilience and survivability. The proposed approach is validated by a
proof-of-concept experiment. The obtained results show that the implementation
of this system can improve the communication process even when the network is
exposed to unfavorable climatic factors.
