Abstract:
An area denial system may be operationally placed with communication latency compensation. The area denial system may include a plurality of munitions, one or more sensor devices, and a command and control unit, networked together and having a command and control latency for communication between the command and control unit and the remainder of the area denial system. Latency compensation may include determining a first target position, determining a first predicted position area for the target using the command and control latency and the first target position, receiving an authorization to arm one or more of the munitions, determining a second target position, and determining that the second target position is outside a threshold distance from a first authorized munition of the one or more authorized munitions, and in response, de-authorizing the first authorized munition.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for communication latency compensation in an area denial system deployed in a region, the area denial system including a plurality of munitions defining an obstacle field, one or more sensor devices, and a command and control unit, networked together in an area denial network having a command and control latency for communication between the command and control unit and the remainder of the area denial system, the method comprising:\n determining one or more recommended munitions of a plurality of munitions, the one or more recommended munitions determined using a first predicted position area for the target , the first predicted position area indicating a range of possible locations for the target using the command and control latency and using a first target position; notifying one or more human operators, via the command control unit, of the one or more recommended munitions; receiving, from at least one of the one or more human operators, via the command and control unit, authorization to fire one or more munitions of the plurality of munitions, the one or more authorized munitions at least partially selected from the one or more recommended munitions; determining a second target position relative to the obstacle field, the second target position detected using the one or more sensor devices; and determining that the second target position is outside of a threshold distance from a first authorized munition of the one or more authorized munitions, and in response, de-authorizing the first authorized munition.
