GIS Arta
Ukraine's "Uber for artillery" — software that matches a target to the best available gun and cuts the call-to-trigger time from ~20 minutes to one or two, letting a smaller, dispersed force out-shoot a numerically superior one.
GIS Arta supports direct sensor-to-shooter coordination for Ukrainian ground forces, according to US Army professional analysis; the developer says on the GIS Arta website that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have used it since 2014, with artillery units its most widespread users and additional roles in situation centres and intelligence work.
Overview
GIS Arta supports direct sensor-to-shooter connectivity and shortens the Ukrainian targeting cycle, Lt. Col. Garrett Searle wrote in a March 2025 US Army article. The developer describes artillery coordination, situation/control-centre use, and intelligence planning, processing and dissemination on the GIS Arta website. New America reported in May 2023 that the interval from target acquisition to fire mission could be 30–45 seconds. The Atlantic Council described engagements within 35–40 seconds in May 2026, citing that earlier New America article rather than a new performance test. GIS Arta’s developers told Watson in 2022 that laptops and tablets predominated, smartphones were possible, and military use was restricted to platforms certified for military purposes.
