This article explores the potential use of deactivated RFID chips as an innovative solution aimed at enhancing the efficiency of casualty evacuation from combat zones. These chips address the critical need for ensuring the security and confidentiality of soldiers’ locations on the battlefield. In their default state, the chips remain inactive, preventing unauthorised data access while allowing for the monitoring of physiological indicators during emergencies. In the event of severe injury or death, the chip automatically activates, transmitting real-time data on the soldier’s condition and precise location. This enables a faster medical response and more accurate decision-making in evacuation planning. The objective of this study is to develop a tool that supports in-the-field medical evacuation and simplifies the identification of deceased military personnel. Materials and Methods: the research analyses the feasibility of replacing traditional military dog tags with deactivated RFID chips to improve field medicine and evacuation processes. A SWOT analysis was conducted to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with this technology. Results: the findings propose extending chip functionality by transforming them into battery-free adaptive systems that detect heartbeats using body heat as an energy source. This approach offers autonomous operation and enhanced monitoring capabilities, particularly in environments with limited access to power. Conclusion: deactivated RFID chips could significantly improve casualty evacuation, enhance location confidentiality, and reduce identification risks in cases where dog tags are destroyed. Their use supports compliance with humanitarian law and facilitates the identification of missing soldiers, bringing closure to their families.
