Abstract

The invention relates to a system (1) for situation awareness in a combat vehicle (2), comprising a plurality of image-capturing sensors (3A-3E) configured to record image sequences showing different partial views (V_A-V_E) of the surroundings of the combat vehicle, and a plurality of client devices (C1-C3) wherein each is configured to show a view (V_P) of the surroundings of the combat vehicle, desired by a user of the client device, on a display (D1-D3). The image-capturing sensors are configured to be connected to a network (4) and to send said image sequences over said network by means of a technique in which each image sequence sent by an image-capturing sensor can be received by a plurality of receivers, such as multicast. The client devices are also configured to be connected to said network and to receive, via said network, at least one image sequence recorded by at least one image-capturing sensor (3A-3E). Further, each client device is configured to generate, on its own, said desired view from the at least one image sequence by processing images from the at least one image sequence, and to provide for display of the desired view on said display.
