The system relates to a radio frequency network of transmitters/receivers or transponders to link commanders of coalition armed forces engaged in combat against a common enemy. This enables commanders to identify and locate all coalition personnel/equipment from those of an enemy. Easily-understood symbols and text messages are displayed on VDUs to represent coalition forces in a given area. The visual information is automatically processed from encrypted digital data disseminated via terrestrial or satellite network links. Commanders can push-button veto any planned attacks against enemy positions to prevent potential 'friendly fire' incidents, or sanction attacks if deemed safe to proceed. The system is adaptable for civilian applications (with or without encryption) to identify personnel and their whereabouts during potentially hazardous operations or emergencies. |
