The '''UNSC distributed battle management and communication network''', commonly known as the '''battle network''', '''"battlenet"'''<ref name="Waypoint">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/community-update-summer-red-summer-blue '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Community Update - Summer Red, Summer Blue'']</ref> or simply the '''"bee-net"''',<ref name="Plaza">'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level, ''[[Tayari Plaza]]''</ref> is the [[United Nations Space Command]] military [[COM|communications network]] used for battlefield management and tactical support. Commanding officers of UNSC military units assume control over a dedicated shard of the battlenet to ensure operations are executed efficiently and safely.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} The distributed battle management and communication network is the UNSC counterpart of the [[Covenant]] [[proselytization network|battle network]].


Multiple variants of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2 Mjolnir armor]] feature dedicated upgrades to battle network communications, such as the [[ENFORCER-class Mjolnir|Enforcer]] helmet, which directly uploads input from helmet-mounted cyloptics to the battlenet for online reviews by intelligence specialists and battlespace management [[AI]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''' - ''Enforcer armor description''</ref>  ''[[Theseus]]'', a specialised [[Command Mantis]] operated by [[Jerome-092]], incorporates a battlenet nexus relay into its hardware to allow deployed forces to remain connected, in the event that contact with {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} is lost.{{Ref/Site|Id=KnowScope|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/know-scope|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Know-Scope|D=28|M=07|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Command Mantis}}
The '''"bee-net"''' is a local surveillance network operated by [[F-99 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle|F-99 UCAVs]]. Each drone is equipped with an optics package and ground forces are able to link up with optical feed from F-99s operating in a given area to access a more complete picture of the battlefield. During the [[Battle of Mombasa]] in [[2552]], [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Edward Buck]] intended to use the network to find the rest of his squad who were scattered around [[New Mombasa|the city]].<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Tayari Plaza (level)|Tayari Plaza]]''</ref>
 
UNSC ground forces are also able to use the battle network to link up with [[F-99 Wombat|F-99 drone fighters]]. Each drone is equipped with an optics package, allowing ground forces to access the optical feed of F-99s operating in a given area to acquire a more complete picture of the battlefield. During the [[Battle of Mombasa]] in [[2552]], [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Edward Buck]] intended to link up with the battlenet to find the rest of his squad who were scattered around [[New Mombasa|the city]].{{Ref/Reuse|Plaza}}
