Network for combat control of ground-based units
First Claim
1. Network for combat control of ground-based units in real time, the network comprising:
- a plurality of ground-based units, wherein 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;
wherein each unit comprises a control computer, radio, amplifier and antenna for communication with other units, wherein the radio of each unit includes a clock, and wherein the clock of each client unit of a particular cluster is synchronized with the clock of the central unit of the particular cluster; and
wherein the central unit of a particular cluster is arranged to control units of the particular 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, said information comprising information about the current position, speed, orientation and status of the respective units, and on the basis of information produced by equipment of the central unit.

Abstract
A network for combat control of ground-based units, such as combat vehicles, in real time, may obtain information is concerning the units comprised in the network for the evaluation of threats and the calculation of a response. The units may be divided into clusters with a central unit in each cluster and at least one client unit 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 may control units comprised in an associated cluster on the basis of threat evaluation and response calculation carried out in the central unit on the basis of information communicated from other units and on the basis of information obtained by means of its own equipment.
