Description
A C3 network is a network consisting of either a C3 command unit and up to three C3 slave units or six C3i units. Basically a special tight-beam communications network, the equipment shares targeting data between BattleMechs and combat vehicles. The original C3 networks were introduced in 3050 by the Draconis Combine.[1][2]
The C3 networks that exist today are geared towards the smallest level of tactical command; this means that each 'Mech in a lance (or a Com Guard Level I for C3i) can share targeting data. There have been efforts to expand this targeting coordination to the company tier by using a 'Mech with a pair of C3 command units, like the Draconis Combine's Tai-sho.[3]
A C3 network of C3 command and slave units cannot share targeting data with units using a C3i system.[1][2]
Alternate Meanings
The term "C3 network" is also used to indicate the command/control/communications function of a military unit.[2]
