NYT: Thanks To The "Delta" System, Ukraine Can Hit A Target On The Battlefield In Three Minutes

Details have been revealed about how this unique military software works.

The Ukrainian military operates within the "Delta" system, which compiles a unified digital battlefield picture for command and control and which the U.S. military calls Ukraine's most powerful weapon. An article in The New York Times explains how the system works.

The article notes that the program collects data and helps identify targets to coordinate the efforts of various units. It consolidates information streams and assigns targets for rapid elimination. The authors added that speed determines the advantage on the battlefield.
In particular, the time required to engage a target has been reduced. One of the “Charter” commanders explained that previously, it took at least 20 minutes from the moment a unit reported enemy positions until the first artillery round was fired. Now it takes between three and five minutes.

Commanders cite the ability to track targets over time as one of the system’s most useful features. For example, data is collected on individual Russian howitzers spotted on the battlefield. Military personnel can see when it was first spotted and when attack attempts were made. This helps prevent mistakes from being repeated.

Software Development

It is noted that the powerful “Delta” software was developed right here in Ukraine. The origins of its development date back to 2014, when the first drones began to be used, but it took a very long time for the data from them to reach the units. Currently, Ukraine is adding AI features and developing chatbots that can be integrated into “Delta.” U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll noted that American systems do not possess the full range of features found in the Ukrainian system.

Journalists quoted Kateryna Bondar, a senior research fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, as saying that Russia is developing a counterpart to “Delta,” but Ukraine retains the advantage. Western armies, she warned, must quickly catch up or risk falling behind.
