Abstract

Battle usage of tactical radio communication is limited by many factors. The one of the key limiting factors is terrain. Terrain can not be changed but there can be used its capabilities and features for tactical radio communication. The functions of geographic information systems enable to effectively evaluate the terrain and identify a problematic areas and locations. Coverage by radio signal from one point is used for planning of tactical radio communication most frequently. New functions for planning tactical radio communications can be created and used. The article deals with the new functions of geographic information system, which will improve the planning of tactical radio communications.
