Ukrainian Military Development DELTA Attracts Interest from NATO Countries
One of the NATO countries has officially asked Ukraine to sell its online troop management system DELTA, Deputy Minister of Defence for Digitalisation Kateryna Chernogorenko told Army TV.
The Gaze reports on this with reference to DOU.
The name of the country has not yet been disclosed, but it is known that it is seriously helping Ukraine with weapons. They are currently working on an export model. As soon as an intergovernmental agreement is signed, it will be announced publicly.
At the same time, Yelyzaveta Boyko, Lieutenant Colonel of the Ministry of Defence's Centre for Innovation and head of one of the DELTA system development departments, noted that partner countries began to develop such systems in the 1990s. They are now outdated, and their updating and maintenance requires significant financial and human resources.
‘In 2016, we decided to create a system from scratch using new technologies. Now we can effectively improve the system's functionality, which makes it attractive to partners. We also have no problem finding developers who can improve DELTA modules and introduce new features,’ explained Yelyzaveta Boyko.
DELTA is an ecosystem of modules that give the Ukrainian military an advantage. Its key module is Deltamonitor, a digital map that allows you to see the positions of your own and enemy forces in real time. The military can work with it online or, if necessary, print maps and reports. This is convenient for those who are used to using paper materials.
The system combines information from sensors, radars, trackers and drones, which are automatically displayed on the map. DELTA also has a secure chat for verified users and a battlefield video analysis platform - in one system, you can view broadcasts from drones and cameras, and enemy vehicles are highlighted by built-in AI.
‘We have created new modules that have never been used in NATO before. Because no one has ever had such high-tech wars on the territory. For example, no one has ever fought with so many drones and no one had to plan drone flights or crews,’ added Yelyzaveta Boyko.
To plan strikes, the system created the TargetHub module. It allows you to mark a target on the map, so others can see that an attack has already been planned. This helps to avoid duplication of strikes on the same target and not to leave out secondary targets.
