Abstract :
Winning a battle requires superiority in something, whether it be firepower, numbers, tactics or equipment, or perhaps, in the 1980s, communication. Wars are no longer fought from trenches as in World War I, nor even in large formations of tanks and guns. It is more likely that combat in any future hostilities will be conducted by smaller individual fighting units and that remote command posts will control and integrate their activities using a highly advanced tactical communication system. This is the way the British Army expects tomorrow´s battles to be fought and is the kind of war for which it has specified its next generation of mobile communication equipment, the Clansman range of vehicle and man-mounted radio packs and accessories
