Abstract: A method for ascertaining position information for an effector after launching from a launcher of a weapons system including the effector and at least one weapons system unit different from the effector, includes receiving a time synchronization signal at the effector in such a way that the effector and the at least one weapons system unit are temporally synchronized at the latest when the effector is launched. The effector furthermore receives position data of the at least one weapons system unit and a timestamp with unique assignment to the position data through a wireless communication connection after the effector has been launched. Position information is ascertained based on the timestamp, the effector's own time upon receipt of the timestamp, and the position data assigned uniquely to the timestamp. An effector, a computing unit and a weapons system are also provided.

Abstract: In a method for protecting a networked military system from malicious users, transactions between the users of the networked military system are stored in a distributed database. Using a block chain method makes it possible to securely store important information in the network and to protect it from manipulation by intruders.

Abstract: A method for operating a ground-based anti-aircraft system includes providing a group of main system components containing a sensor system, a tactical operation control and an effector system. Combat target sensor data are passed from the sensor system to the tactical operation control, processed therein and passed in processed form from the tactical operation control to the effector system, using the data to combat the target. A central integration module having a converter unit and a central data distributor allows differently constructed main system components to be connected. Data from all main system components are routed to the central data distributor by the converter unit and converted therein from component protocol into system-internal data protocol, and passed from the central data distributor to one or more main system components, through the converter unit, converting the distributed data back from system-internal data protocol into component protocol.
