The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, together with a Ukrainian manufacturer, has begun testing a control center for units equipped with UAVs.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by the Ministry of Defense.
Among the requirements of the Ministry of Defense to the control center are maximum autonomy, equipment with modern means of communication and electronic warfare. The new model of equipment should provide control of unmanned systems units in all weather conditions, both in stationary conditions and while moving. The control room will be equipped with automated workstations with an interactive panel. The commander will have the ability to quickly analyze the situation and make decisions quickly when managing units, which will increase the efficiency of their use.
As noted, a specialized off-road vehicle is planned to be the basis for this innovative development. The all-wheel drive vehicle should solve the problem of sufficient maneuverability and movement of the off-road control center.
The stages of the project implementation are supported by the Defense Innovation Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
"Unmanned units have significantly scaled up and require specialized combat control equipment. Domestic arms manufacturers have offered a technical solution to this request. The new equipment will be tested and evaluated by combat unit commanders. If the design meets the requirements, we will codify it and it will be able to go into mass production. We must be technologically superior to the enemy," said First Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk.
