Abstract

An impact assessment unit and method, including an interface connector operably connectable to a connector of a platform electronic system, a resource allocation unit to negotiate access to resources associated with the platform electronic system, and a controller to regulate communication with a smart munition using a receiver associated with the platform electronic system.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An impact assessment unit comprising: 
 an interface connector operably connectable to a connector of a platform electronic system;    a resource allocation unit to negotiate access to resources associated with the platform electronic system; and    a controller to regulate communication with a smart munition using a receiver associated with the platform electronic system.    
   
   
       2 . The unit according to  claim 1 , wherein said resource allocation unit negotiates access to a human interface unit.  
   
   
       3 . The unit according to  claim 2 , wherein said human interface unit is an audio system.  
   
   
       4 . The unit according to  claim 2 , wherein said human interface unit is a visual display system.  
   
   
       5 . The unit according to  claim 1 , further comprising a processing unit for receiving and processing information from an onboard guidance system of said smart munition.  
   
   
       6 . The unit according to  claim 5 , wherein said processing unit is an external unit to said impact assessment unit.  
   
   
       7 . The unit according to  claim 6 , wherein said resource allocation unit negotiates access to said external processing unit.  
   
   
       8 . The unit according to  claim 1 , wherein said resource allocation unit negotiates access to a transmitter to transmit a signal generated by said impact assessment unit in a manner receivable by a receiving device of said smart munition;  
   
   
       9 . The unit according to  claim 1 , wherein said resource allocation unit negotiates access to a receiver to receive a signal generated by said smart munition.  
   
   
       10 . The unit according to  claim 9 , wherein said receiver is a radiofrequency receiver.  
   
   
       11 . The unit according to  claim 10 , wherein said radiofrequency receiver is inherent to an electronic warfare system of the platform.  
   
   
       12 . The unit according to  claim 9 , wherein said radiofrequency signal is a frequency radio signal of between 2 gigahertz and 2.6 gigahertz.  
   
   
       13 . The unit according to  claim 1 , wherein said resource allocation unit negotiates access to resources associated with the platform electronic system through a resource allocation controller on the platform.  
   
   
       14 . The unit according to  claim 1 , wherein said unit is placed on a monitoring unit.  
   
   
       15 . The unit according to  claim 1 , wherein said resource allocation unit negotiates access to an information recordation unit to record the information received to said unit.  
   
   
       16 . The unit according to  claim 1 , wherein said resource allocation unit negotiates access to a transmitter associated with the platform electronic system to transmit the information received to said unit.  
   
   
       17 . A method for impact assessment, the method comprising: 
 connecting an impact assessment unit with a platform electronic system;    negotiating access to resources associated with the platform electronic system; and    regulating communication with a smart munition through a transceiver/receiver(s) associated with the platform electronics system.    
   
   
       18 . The method according to  claim 17 , wherein said negotiation is to access to a human interface unit.  
   
   
       19 . The method according to  claim 17 , wherein said negotiation is to access to an audio system.  
   
   
       20 . The method according to  claim 17 , wherein said negotiation is to access a visual display system.  
   
   
       21 . The method according to  claim 17 , further comprising processing information for receiving and processing from an onboard guidance system of said smart munition.  
   
   
       22 . The method according to  claim 17 , wherein said negotiation is to provide access to a transmitter to transmit a signal generated by said impact assessment unit in a manner receivable by a receiving device of said smart munition;  
   
   
       22 . The method according to  claim 17 , wherein said negotiation is to provide access to a receiver to receive a signal generated by said smart munition.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein said negotiation is to access to resources associated with the platform electronic system through a resource allocation controller on the platform.
