1. A networked battle system comprising:
- a communication network;
a first battlefield device that includes at least one accessory coupled thereto that determines a location of the first battlefield device and a display device coupled thereto, wherein the first battlefield device includes at least one microprocessor;
a distance determining device separate from the first battlefield device, the distance determining providing a distance from the distance determining device to a target and a location of the distance determining device to the communication network;
a battle management system in communication with the first battlefield device and the distance determining device through the communication network that receives the distance determining device location and the distance to the target and updates a battle plan based on information from the distance determining device to form an updated battle plan that is displayed on the display device; and
a firearm that includes at least one firearm accessory coupled thereto that determines a location of the firearm and a second display device;
wherein the battle management system provides the updated battle plan to the firearm through the communication network;

Abstract
A firearm includes one or more rails to which accessories may be mounted. The rails provide a communication path over which data may be transferred between the accessories and a processor located in the rails or in the firearm. The processor may cause the data to be sent to another location and may receive other data from other locations to provide a network of intercommunicating firearms that may deployed in a battlefield environment.
