The newest command and control system went to the russian army's anti tank units

JSC Ruselectronics began delivering the newest command and reconnaissance vehicle to the Russian army's ATGM units. The vehicle is part of Zavet" (Covenant or Testament) command and control system.


Ruselectronics has started serial deliveries of the Zavet automated control systems for anti-tank formations. This was reported by the press service of Rostec. The complex provides target designation to anti-tank formations and makes it possible to organize the repulsion of an attack by enemy armored vehicles. Target detection is provided using an optical-electronic reconnaissance system and an external radar at a distance of 7 thousand meters, and recognition - 5 thousand. The ACS determines the direction and speed of the enemy's movement, classifies targets, distributes them according to the degree of danger, and then issues target designation to the calculations of anti-tank weapons in real time. Reception and transmission of information is carried out both via wired channels and by radio. The capabilities of the complex allow you to exchange information at a distance of up to 100 km. In the event of a failure of command posts, "Zavet" transfers their functions to subordinate or higher authorities, thereby ensuring the continuity of anti-tank defense control. It is noted that automated control systems significantly increase the effectiveness of various types of weapons. The development and production of the Zavet complex is carried out by the Rubin research and production enterprise of the Vega concern of the Ruselectronics holding.
