APPLICABILITY
- access to electronic area map, own position display by GPS
- data exchange with other system subscribers. In the general case, the data include positions of allied units, the coordinates of detected targets, and short text messages
- solution of individual calculation problems, such as route calculation, impact area or firing corrections
- ensuring the interaction and data transfer from reconnaissance means – UASs, radar and sound-ranging systems – in automatic mode
FIELD OF APPLICATION
Specialized software package “Kropyva” development is meant for the needs of land units in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard of Ukraine.
The purpose of SP “Kropyva” is to improve the target-hitting efficiency, due to automation of gunfire control processes, via hardware/software means, mapping support, automatic calculation, transfer of commands and target indications by digital communication channels.
APPLICATION
Apart from artillery units, it may even control the reconnaissance drones.
