On June 3, 2026, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced the scale of updating the geospatial and geoinformation contours of the national situational awareness system DELTA. Now the combat platform consolidates over-the-top satellite imagery, reconnaissance orthomosaics and 3D terrain models into a single digital environment.

Integration of a large number of intelligence data allows commanders of the Ukrainian Defense Forces to model complex operations with high accuracy, analyze changes in locality in real time and.

Three levels of geospatial awareness in the DELTA ecosystem.

Through direct integration of satellite providers and unmanned aviation data, DELTA operators created a tri-spherical map contour:.

Satellite data from global coverage: cover the entire territory of Ukraine (including the occupation of Crimea) and strategic areas of the Russian Federation. They allow you to analyze the movement of reserves, identify new stationary objects and plan Deep Strike operations.

Aerial photography and orthophotos: created by robotic reconnaissance drones. By reducing to a single coordinate system and scale, orthophotos are given maximum detail. In just 2026, the Soviet Union brought over 1,700 new orthophotos to DELTA.

3D models of relief and altitude: three-dimensional digital modeling of height differences, height changes, vibrations and natural transitions.

The availability of digital 3D terrain models has become a key technological change for the mass deployment of ground robotic systems (GRC). For wheeled and tracked robots, height differences, ditches, swampy plots and debris are critical crossings.

Trajectory modeling in DELTA’s 3D space allows operators to lay out safe logistics and assault routes for tender NRCs from the AOC DOT and twin robotic AK turrets.

Dodatkovo in DELTA was requested by an automatic notification system. Military service members can target specific areas of interest (a brigade's operational area, a military airfield or a petroleum depot), and the system independently signals the arrival of new satellite or aerial photographs.

To make it easier for players, the combat system also integrated a full-fledged Shi-assistant, which in the interactive chat format provides increased power and helps to quickly open up new methods of engagement.

HiTech Expert Take.

Consolidation of orthophotos, satellites and 3D modeling in the DELTA ecosystem is an important part of the evolution of the digital battlefield, which directly integrates with automated reconnaissance. The shortened hour of analysis is represented by 90% of the additional piece intelligence is now supported by trivial relief and meeting alerts about changes in the square. This allows the Ukrainian Defense Forces to close the kill chain with maximum accuracy.

The ability of intelligent species to exchange orthophotomaps in a common coordinate system eliminates the problem of “inter-domestic barriers”, transforming the DELTA ecosystem into the current edge-centric tool.
