Delta, developed by the Defense Technology Innovation and Development Center of the Ministry of Defense, is a situational awareness system that has become the basis of all Ukrainian Armed Forces software. Since 2019, Delta has been tested at NATO's CWIX exercise, which evaluates and improves the interoperability of combat systems between member states and partners.
The program operates as a web service that does not require server hardware in different teams. It is enough to have access to the Internet, pass authorization and use a digital map.
In 2024, Delta was successfully tested according to five different interoperability standards and integrated with the Polish artillery fire control system TOPAZ, processing complex scenarios for collecting data on the location of its own and allied forces.
According to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, as of August 2024, the Delta system has helped destroy $15 billion worth of enemy equipment. It is planned that the system will be put into operation in all units of Ukraine's security and defense sector.
