Delta

Ukraine's "Google for the military" — a cloud battlefield-awareness and command system that fuses drone, satellite, sensor and intelligence feeds into one shared map and, the military says, compresses the find-to-strike cycle from days to minutes. The first software entry in the Lexicon.

Delta is Ukraine's battlefield-data exchange system for units and higher command, accessible on laptops, tablets and smartphones, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence. Yurii Myronenko told Business Insider that Delta reduced target detection and information relay for engagement from as much as 72 hours to about two minutes; Business Insider reported that preparation for longer-range systems can still take tens of minutes or hours.

Overview

Delta became the unified source for battlefield-data exchange across all levels of Ukraine's Defence Forces under an order signed by Defence Minister Denys Shmyhal in August 2025, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence announced. The ministry recorded more than 200,000 registered users by November 2025. Defense News reported 270,000 registered users in May 2026, attributing the figure to Yurii Myronenko.

Delta's functions include mission planning and digital reporting for reconnaissance, strikes, mining, logistics and evacuation, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence. The ministry's September 2026 geospatial announcement also describes satellite imagery, drone-generated orthophotos, 3D terrain models and notifications when fresh imagery becomes available.
