Critical function e.g. ammunition firing function, activation authorizing system, has verification unit verifying whether received message is signed integrated message, and authorizing realization of critical functions

摘要

The system has a ground control station (100) with an activation module (130) comprising a signing module for generating an activation message to activate critical functions (A-1B, A-1C, A-2B) for a designated effector module from a set of effector modules (230, 240, 330) of robotized platforms (200, 300). Each effector module has a verification unit for authenticating the message from the station. The verification unit verifies whether the received message is a signed integrated message for the effector module and authorizes the realization of the critical functions based on needs. An independent claim is also included for a method for authorizing activation of a critical function by a robotized platform.
