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.

Ukraine's cloud-native battlefield situational-awareness and command-and-control system — a web and mobile platform that fuses drone, satellite, sensor and intelligence feeds into one shared, near-real-time map and, the military says, compresses the find-to-strike cycle from days to minutes. It is the first piece of software in the BattlePolicy Lexicon, because on the modern battlefield the system that decides is becoming as decisive as the system that fires.

Overview

Delta is the Armed Forces of Ukraine's situational-awareness and battle-management software: a cloud-hosted platform, reachable from an ordinary browser, tablet or phone, that fuses feeds from drones, satellites, cameras, radars and human, signals and open-source intelligence into a single shared "common operating picture." CSIS has argued it is effectively a working version of the US military's long-sought CJADC2 (combined joint all-domain command and control), and its Ukrainian Ministry of Defence developers describe it as "Google for the military." Rather than a hardware platform, Delta is the digital nervous system that ties sensors to shooters — which is why it opens the Lexicon's new Command & Software domain. (Important caveat: many of Delta's most striking performance figures come from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence and should be read as claims, not independently verified metrics.)
