A method for engaging one or several aerial targets by means of a firing group (10) of autonomous, but cooperating, firing units (12, 112), wherein each firing group has a fire control unit (14, 114) and at least one weapon (16, 116). Several firing units (12, 112) are linked by a signal transmissio
A method for engaging one or several aerial targets by means of a firing group (10) of autonomous, but cooperating, firing units (12, 112), wherein each firing group has a fire control unit (14, 114) and at least one weapon (16, 116). Several firing units (12, 112) are linked by a signal transmission system (70), which connects their fire control units (14, 114). Each fire control unit (14, 114) autonomously monitors its airspace area for enemy aerial targets. Subsequently, each fire control unit (14, 114) determines a threat assessment, for which the monitoring results of all fire control units (14, 114) are used. The selection of an aerial target to be engaged by a firing unit (12, 122) is subsequently made by the associated fire control unit (14, 114) on the basis of,the threat assessment and on the basis of the status of the weapons (16, 116) of the entire firing group (10). Firing groups (10) of this type are preferably used for engaging rapidly moving aerial targets in order to defend friendly object to be protected against the action of the aerial targets.

1. A method for engaging at least one aerial target by means of at least two firing units linked to form a firing group, comprising the steps of:autonomous monitoring by said firing units of airspace to search for at least one aerial target, said firing units automatically reporting their autonomous
1. A method for engaging at least one aerial target by means of at least two firing units linked to form a firing group, comprising the steps of:autonomous monitoring by said firing units of airspace to search for at least one aerial target, said firing units automatically reporting their autonomous results of monitoring to the other firing units in said firing group and receiving the results of monitoring by said other firing units, so that all firing units have the same air situation monitoring information available to them, automatically assessing the threat autonomously by each firing unit using the monitoring information collected from all the firing units, so that all firing units arrive at the same threat picture, only after all firing units have been fully apprised of all the available monitoring information, automatically assigning an aerial target to be attacked autonomously by each firing unit using the same assignment logic and monitoring information used by all other firing units, which assignment logic causes the attack assignments to be made in a predictable and coordinated manner.
