The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is creating a system of special centers for the development of defense technologies.
There are six centers in total, each of which will be responsible for a separate area of weapons development and military technologies.
Two centers have already been created:
Unmanned systems - analysis of combat experience, development of new technological solutions and accelerated adaptation of unmanned platforms to changes on the battlefield.
Missiles and artillery - development of missile and artillery systems, detection equipment, automatic control and local production of weapons.
It is planned to establish four more centers:
Air defense - developing promising air defense systems, analyzing their effectiveness and introducing new technologies for defense in the airspace.
Reconnaissance and electronic warfare - development and testing of electronic warfare, electronic warfare, navigation and remote control technologies.
Space technologies - development of satellite communication, use of remote sensing data of the Earth and increasing Ukraine's technological independence.
Deep attack systems - analysis of the effectiveness of long-range strike systems, development, testing and expansion of promising technologies for hitting targets deep in Russian territory.
The central mission of the entire system is to shorten the path from identifying needs at the front to implementing a ready-made technological solution among the forces.
