Abstract

Mobile Communication System (MCS) is an important element for ensuring information support in crisis and in battle action. The transit network or the network of base stations is the basis of MCS. Checking a designed radio relay links is the basis for MCS planning. This verification is performed by checking line of sight between selected locations. But there can be other circumstances influenced deployment of transit nodes in battle area. Quality of road is one of criteria. Today, we can use the concept of risk mapping in choosing a sites or location of transit nodes or base stations. This concept can be successfully used in combination with geographical information system. There are devised a special GIS layers that express risk assessment for individual points of battle area. Location for transit nodes can be chosen according to quality of direct line of sight and level of risk. The article deals with the methodology of risk mapping for MCS planning.
