Automated Towed Artillery Battalion ATABFCS “Vulkan-B†Fire Control System
3. ORGANIZATION OF CONTROL AND COMBAT USAGE
The control is organized on the basis of a tactical LAN network. The data transmission between the command-observation post and the fire control post is carried out by means of VHF transceivers with a digital channel at data transmission speed of 16 KB/sec. The handheld reconnaissance terminal, the onboard computers and the hand terminals for guns control use a transmitter-receiver for W-LAN network. The transmitter-receiver (W-LAN) covers a distance of up to 900 meters at data transmission speed of 1 MB/sec. The data transmission between the portable reconnaissance post and the command-observation post and between the fire control post and the towed guns is carried out through W-LAN network.
