A '''C3 network''' is a network consisting of either a [[C3 command unit]] and up to three [[C3 slave unit]]s or six [[C3i]] units. Basically a special tight-beam communications network, the equipment shares targeting data between [[BattleMech]]s and [[combat vehicle]]s. The original C3 networks were introduced in [[3050]] by the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name="TMp209">''TechManual'', p. 209, "C3 Computer"</ref><ref name="FM:CSp149+">''Field Manual: ComStar'', pp. 149-150, "Improved C3 Computer"</ref>

The C3 networks that exist today are geared towards the smallest level of tactical command; this means that each 'Mech in a [[lance]] (or a [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[Level I]] for C3i) can share targeting data. There have been efforts to expand this targeting coordination to entire [[company|companies]] by using a 'Mech with a pair of C3 command units, like the Draconis Combine's ''[[Tai-sho (BattleMech)|Tai-sho]]''.<ref name="TWp131">''Total Warfare'', p. 131, "Designating A C3 Network"</ref>
