Battalion's SAM Platoon.*
*
These platoon's (Jaos) of 3 shoulder fired SAM launchers provide the battalion with AA coverage against mainly choppers and low flying aircraft. The SAM teams carry with them a firepositiondata -system (Tuliasemapaate), that is connected to the air situation network that is a network where all air target data is kept up-to-date in real time by all anti-air and air observe units and sensors. This newtwork helps the SAM teams to locate themselves in good fire positions to counter any air threats in time, maximising the reaction time given before the enemy air attack reaches the battalion.*
*
The missile sections work mainly independently so, that the cover arcs cross each other for maximal coverage with no holes in the battalions AOR.*
