Denys Shmyhal: Order on implementing DELTA provides Defence Forces with a legal framework for the system’s wide-scale use
Two months after its implementation, the DELTA system has demonstrated steady progress and proven highly effective in combat operations. The average monthly number of new users has increased by 30% and continues to show positive growth, while the number of units using the system has risen by nearly 10%.
“Order on implementing DELTA provides the Defence Forces with a legal framework for the system’s wide-scale use. Today, DELTA has evolved into a true digital weapon, enabling the military to operate faster, more precisely, and with greater coordination. It is an example of Ukrainian innovations that are transforming the battlefield and setting new standards for our partners,” said Denys Shmyhal, Minister of Defence of Ukraine.
Through integrated programs, the DELTA system has verified the destruction or damage of more than 130,000 enemy targets over the past two months, with 25% of these being enemy personnel.
The DELTA system’s automatic reporting and analytics capabilities have also expanded:
- in the reconnaissance category — the military may report targets detected more than 20 km beyond the line of contact and receive points for reconnaissance, as well as additional points if the identified target is confirmed as hit;
- in the logistics category — for missions conducted using ground robotic systems (GRS).
DELTA is increasingly evolving toward a data-driven warfare concept, where analytics and battlefield information have become an additional yet indispensable tool for critical decision-making. As a result of this approach, the system is being enhanced with new functionalities — ranging from mission reporting and alerts about areas of interest detected by enemy satellites to advanced analytics for all types of military data, allowing evaluation across temporal and performance dimensions.
Since its implementation, the DELTA system has undergone a series of updates to its AI-powered automatic detection technology for enemy equipment. These improvements have significantly reduced false detections and repeated triggers on static objects, while enhancing the system’s overall operational quality and reliability. As a result, the system achieves an accuracy rate of approximately 70% in identifying unique pieces of equipment, with an average detection time of 2.2 seconds. In parallel, efforts are ongoing to develop and implement a night detection capability
