Over the last few years, the deployment of WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) has been fostered in
diverse applications. WSN has great potential for a variety of domains ranging from scientific experiments
to commercial applications. Due to the deployment of WSNs in dynamic and unpredictable environments.
They have potential to cope with variety of faults. This paper proposes an energy-aware fault-tolerant
clustering protocol for target tracking applications termed as the FTTT (Fault Tolerant Target Tracking)
protocol. The identification of RNs (Redundant Nodes) makes SN (Sensor Node) fault tolerance plausible
and the clustering endorsed recovery of sensors supervised by a faulty CH (Cluster Head). The FTTT
protocol intends two steps of reducing energy consumption: first, by identifying RNs in the network;
secondly, by restricting the numbers of SNs sending data to the CH. Simulations validate the scalability
and low power consumption of the FTTT protocol in comparison with LEACH protocol
