        abstract = {The integration of Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT) technology into soldier’s weapon platforms represents a transformative shift in modern combat dynamics. By connecting firearms and other weapon systems to intelligent networks, IoBT-enabled platforms promise to eliminate the “fog of war” by enhancing situational awareness, optimizing resource allocation, and improving decision-making processes. By leveraging LoRAWAN and piezoelectric sensors in conjunction with IoT-driven intelligence, weapon systems can optimize battlefield awareness, streamline resource allocation, and enhance operational effectiveness. The article explores the current advancements, operational benefits, challenges, and strategic implications of IoBT in soldier’s weapon platforms. Finally, it highlights challenges such as cybersecurity vulnerabilities, power management, and sensor durability and proposes future solutions.},
