Network For Combat Control of Ground-Based Units
First Claim
1. Network for combat control of ground-based units, such as combat vehicles, in real time, whereby information is obtained about units comprised in the network or the evaluation of threats and the calculation of a response, characterized in that the units are divided into clusters, with a central unit in each cluster and at least one client unit in each cluster that is arranged to communicate with the associated central unit, with each unit comprising a control computer, radio, amplifier and antenna for communication with other units, in that the central unit is arranged to control units comprised in an associated cluster on the basis of the threat evaluation and response calculation carried out in the central unit on the basis of information communicated from other units, comprising information about the current position, speed, orientation and status of the respective units and on the basis of information produced by its equipment, such as active and passive sensors.

Abstract
The invention relates to a network for combat control of ground-based units, such as combat vehicles, in real time, in which information is obtained concerning the units comprised in the network for the evaluation of threats and the calculation of a response. According to the invention, the units are divided into clusters (20; 26) with a central unit (21; 27) in each cluster and at least one client unit (22-25; 28-32) in each cluster, which client units are arranged to communicate with the associated central unit. Each unit comprises a control computer, radio, amplifier and antenna for communication with other units. The central unit is arranged to control units comprised in an associated cluster on the basis of the threat evaluation and the response calculation carried out in the central unit on the basis of information communicated from other units, comprising information about the current position, speed, orientation and status of the respective units, and on the basis of information obtained by means of its own equipment, such as active and passive sensors.
