A Research on Intercommunication Method for Tactical Information Among Heterogeneous Mobile Combat Vehicles

Abstract

Modern Battle Fields are covered with various weapon systems, such as tanks, infantry vehicles, or artillery vehilces. In such environment, it is important to take it into consideration what kind of efficient method should be developed to communicate with heterogeneous friend combat systems for the exchange of tactical information aqcuired because military operations require coordinated actions. For this purpose, we made a research on tactical information equipments such as Battlefield Management Systems(BMSs) equipped in multiple kinds of Mobile Combat Vehicles(MCVs). The exchange of tactical information could be divieded into separate domains, such as connectivity, messages, and recognition processes by operators. In this article, we will deal with wireless radio connectivity, KVMF messages, and User Interfaces showing shared data.
