One of the requirements of the Ministry of Defense for the control center was maximum autonomy and equipment with modern means of communication and electronic warfare
In addition, the new model of equipment should provide control of unmanned systems units in all weather conditions, both in stationary conditions and while driving.
"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 development meets the requirements, we will codify it and it will be able to go into mass production," said First Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk.
