The command cabin will be equipped with automated workstations and an interactive panel. Commanders will possess the ability to swiftly analyze the situation and make rapid decisions while managing drone units, thereby enhancing their operational effectiveness.
A specialized, highly mobile transport vehicle will serve as the foundation for this innovative development. An all-wheel drive vehicle is necessary to ensure sufficient maneuverability and movement of the command post in off-road conditions.
Ivan Havryliuk, First Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, emphasized that drone units have significantly expanded and necessitate specialized combat control tools.
"Domestic weapons manufacturers have proposed a technical solution to this requirement. The new equipment model will undergo testing and be evaluated by commanders of combat units. If the development fulfills the requirements, it will be codified and enter mass production. We must maintain technological superiority over the enemy," he added.
