Strelets

Strelets-M is a Russian reconnaissance, command, control and communications system developed and manufactured by JSC Radioavionika in St Petersburg; the Council of the European Union identifies its use by the Russian Armed Forces in the war against Ukraine without specifying units, quantities, deployment dates or measured operational effects.

Overview

Strelets is a modular, man-portable command-control-communications-and-intelligence (C3I) system built around rugged tablets, computers and radios. Its job is to digitize the sensor-to-shooter chain: a forward observer, scout, UAV operator or radar crew tags an enemy position and passes coordinates over the network to artillery, rocket or aviation units, compressing what was a voice-and-paper process. Russian and Western analysts describe it as the technological enabler of the razvedyvatelno-ognevoy kontur — the reconnaissance-fire complex (ROS) — that Jamestown Foundation and Jamestown credit with integrating "various radar, sensors and means of reconnaissance and fires at operational-tactical levels." It is a component of Russia's Ratnik infantry-modernization suite and is fielded to reconnaissance, artillery-spotting, forward-air-control and special-operations units.
