A method for communication latency compensation in an area denial system, the area denial system including a plurality of munitions defining an obstacle field, one or more sensor devices, and a command and control unit, networked together, via one or more gateway devices, in an area denial network having a command and control latency for communication between the command and control unit and a remainder of the area denial system, the method comprising:

  • notifying one or more human operators, via the command control unit, of one or more recommended munitions for engaging a target based on a first target position detected by the one or more sensor devices, the notification subject to a data latency between the command control unit and the one or more gateway devices;

    receiving, from at least one of the one or more human operators via the command and control unit, authorization to fire one or more munitions of the plurality of munitions, the authorization received subject to the data latency between the command and control unit and the one or more gateway devices,determining a second target position relative to the obstacle field, the second target position determined subsequent to receiving the authorization and latency compensated for a two-way data latency based on the data latency between the command and control unit and the one or more gateway devices; and
