Remote data collection from a sensitive area is required for a tedious process of communication. The research examines the deployment of wireless sensor networks on the battlefield in terms of certain parameters such as node energy, delay, and survivability of the network. The simulation environment is analyzed using a network simulator in accordance with three levels. Wireless sensor networks require continuous data collection and high energy consumption during their initial set-up phase; secondly energy consumption is concentrated in the routing phase; and finally delay estimation is done in the transmission phase.
