One NATO country has officially approached Ukraine with a request for the export of the DELTA system. This was reported by Deputy Minister of Defense for Digitalization Kateryna Chernogorenko in an interview with Army TV, as noted by DOU.

While the name of the country has not yet been disclosed, it is known that it is seriously assisting Ukraine with military supplies. Currently, work is underway on the export model. Once an intergovernmental agreement is concluded, it will be announced publicly.

At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel of the Ministry of Defense's Innovation Center and head of one of the DELTA system's development departments, Yelyzaveta Boyko, noted that such systems began appearing among partner countries back in the 1990s. Now they are outdated, and updating and maintaining them requires considerable financial and human resources.

“In 2016, we decided to create a system from scratch using new technologies. This allows us to effectively enhance the system's functionality, making it attractive to partners. We also have no issues finding developers who can improve DELTA modules and implement new features,” explained Yelyzaveta Boyko.

DELTA is an ecosystem of modules that gives the Ukrainian military an advantage. Its key module, Deltamonitor, is a digital map that allows real-time visibility of both friendly and enemy positions. The military can work with it online or print maps and reports as needed, which is convenient for those accustomed to paper materials.

The system integrates information from sensors, radars, trackers, and drones, which are automatically displayed on the map. DELTA also includes a secure chat for verified users and a battlefield video analysis platform – one can view broadcasts from drones and cameras, while an integrated AI highlights enemy equipment.

“We have created new modules that have never been used in NATO. No one has encountered such high-tech wars on their territory before. For instance, no one has fought with this many drones, and no one has needed to plan drone flights or involve crews,” added Yelyzaveta Boyko.

To plan strikes, the system has a module called TargetHub. It allows marking targets 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.
