  • System and method for automating indirect fire protocol using fully homomorphic encryption
    Patent number: 10439799
    Abstract: Indirect fire protocol according to several embodiments of the present invention can include the initial step establishing a grid and locating a forward observer (FO) and a firing unit (FU) in the grid. The FO can estimate the bearing and range to a High Value Target (HVT) within the grid, and can homomorphically encrypting said HVT estimated position data. FO can then transmit the encrypted HVT estimated position data over cloud network architecture to a Fire Direction Center (FDC), using the FDC's Keypublic. The FDC can outsource the calculation of an absolute position of said HVT in said grid to non-secure internet cloud architecture, but with encrypted HVT estimation data and the FO position data in the grid (which the FDC knows). Once calculated, the HVT encrypted absolute position data can be decrypted, and then transmitted from FDC to a FU, using the FU's Keypublic.
