NATO Country Requests DELTA System Export to Ukraine
A NATO nation has officially requested Ukraine for the export of the DELTA system. This was reported by Deputy Minister of Defense for Digitalization Kateryna Chernohorenko in an interview with Army TV, according to DOU.
The name of the country has not yet been disclosed, but it is known to be providing significant military assistance to Ukraine. Work is currently underway on the export model. Once the intergovernmental agreement is signed, it will be publicly announced.
At the same time, Colonel of the Ministry of Defense's Innovation Center and head of the DELTA system development department, Yelizaveta Boyko, noted that such systems began appearing in partner countries back in the 1990s. Now they are outdated, and their upgrading requires substantial financial and human resources.
"In 2016, we decided to create a system from scratch using new technologies. This allows us to effectively improve the functionality of the system, making it attractive to partners. We also have no issues finding developers who can enhance the DELTA modules and implement new features," explained Yelizaveta Boyko.
DELTA is an ecosystem of modules that provides Ukrainian military forces with an advantage. Its key module, Deltamonitor, is a digital map that in real-time displays the positions of both friendly and enemy forces. Military personnel can work with it online or, if necessary, print maps and reports. This is convenient for those accustomed to using paper materials.
The system consolidates information from sensors, radars, trackers, and drones, which are automatically displayed on the map. DELTA also features a secure chat for verified users and a battlefield video analysis platform – all in one system, allowing users to view broadcasts from drones and cameras, with enemy equipment highlighted by built-in AI.
"We have created new modules that have never been used in NATO before. Because no one has ever faced such high-tech warfare on the ground. For instance, no one has ever fought with so many drones, and no one needed to plan drone sorties and crew involvement," added Yelizaveta Boyko.
To plan strikes, a module called TargetHub has been created within the system. It allows marking a target on the map, so others can see that an attack has already been planned. This helps avoid duplicating strikes on the same target and ensures that secondary objects are not overlooked.
