ISTAR Direction

The Key to Our Victory is Implementing Network-Centric Warfare Principles

ISTAR is one of the processes used by NATO and is a part of the network-centric warfare concept, providing an informational advantage over the adversary

Goals

Promotion of ISTAR capability development

according to NATO principles and standards, and integration into the combat management system

Key Activities

Providing support for 9 mobile teams that continuously implement ISTAR within the Defence Forces of Ukraine (approximately 300 ISTAR points have been established at different levels of military management)

Ensuring the formation, development, and support of 6 ISTAR centers at the operational and operational-tactical levels of military formations

Over 450 military personnel have undergone training and internships on the ISTAR process and the use of tools (DELTA Monitor, Mission Control, Tower) to become ISTAR officers at the brigade and battalion levels

The first international exercises using the ISTAR process and the DELTA situational awareness system have been conducted

In collaboration with the C2IS assisted in structuring requests from the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the developers at the Ministry of Defense Innovation Center for the launch of a new product designed to NATO standards—the DELTA "Mission Control" subsystem

Together with Knowledge Management, the initial goals were agreed upon within NATO's Interoperability Roadmap for Ukraine. A key goal is ensuring ISTAR architecture and capabilities align with modern standards

russia was confident that it could quickly capture Ukraine, including "Kyiv in three days," and began a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. As a result, the aggressor is losing. They are losing despite having advantages over the Ukrainian army in many aspects.

An important factor in the future defeat of the enemy has been Ukraine's transition to so-called network-centric warfare principles—according to NATO standards. Thanks to network-centricity, the quantitative advantage of the enemy on the battlefield is offset. And together with the military assistance provided by Western partners, we can confidently declare Ukraine’s victory in a war that grows closer with each passing day.
