The GIS Arta system decides how to attack the enemy in record time, according to British newspaper ‘The Times’
We are nothing without technology. Even less so when we refer specifically to the war. Since the start of the invasion of Ukraine, which has already been completed for three months, the army of the Zelensky-ruled country has used the shipment of materials and solutions from abroad to stop the advance of the Russian soldiers. However, the state also has its own solutions. Solutions that will also cause headaches for the Kremlin troops.
This is, for example, the case with the GIS Arta application, a system that, thanks to the use of artificial intelligence and the Starlink satellite internet provided by Elon Musk, enables the Ukrainian artillery to attack enemy positions as quickly and efficiently as possible. way.
According to the British newspaper ‘The Times’, GIS Arta allowed the Ukrainian army to destroy an entire Russian battalion a few weeks ago. The computerized system has been used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces since 2014. The operation is reminiscent of services such as Uber or Cabify.
When Ukrainian military or reconnaissance drones detect an enemy’s position, they report their situation to the system. Once this is done, the technology can quickly select the artillery units, mortars, missiles or combat drones that are in range and determine the type of artillery to be used to destroy it. GIS Arta is able to perform the entire operation in less than a minute.
To make the decision, GIS Arta will use the information collected by reconnaissance drones, rangefinders, “smartphones,” GPS and radars, according to the “Root Nation” site. The system can also determine whether it is necessary to use different artillery batteries and when to fire them.
To make the tool functional during the conflict, the Ukrainian military is turning to satellite internet provided to the country by Starlink, one of the (many) companies owned by Elon Musk. It should be remembered that since the beginning of the invasion, the tycoon has shown his support for the cause of the Zelensky-ruled country. So much so that he even challenged Putin to a fight in which, as he indicated on Twitter, the future of the state would be decided.
Exactly, Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, has sued Musk several times in recent months. It has also drawn attention to the fact that the Starlink technology is being used by Ukraine and the extremist Azov battalion for destructive purposes. “Elon Musk is involved in providing military communications to fascist forces in Ukraine. And for that, you’re going to have to respond in a mature way, Elon,” he recently said in a recent on his Telegram channel.
For his part, the owner of Starlink SpaceX (and we’ll see if Twitter) responded in a thread on the bird’s “app” that “the word nazi doesn’t mean what he (Rogozin) thinks.” He also noted that, “there are no angels in war”, and that when he dies “in strange circumstances it was a pleasure to meet you”.
