Communication

Features

For all levels of command and control, you have the ability to

• Speak with active voice (VOIP)
• Send text based messages (TCIP Message)
• Point to Point Transfer Data (P2P Transfer)

Communication features are dynamic to your position in the command structure.

Size, Distance, Scale
Care must be taken when talking of the concept of size, distance and scale. The concept of local, close, far and near is very arbitrary on a map which you can zoom from car level, to worldwide.
