Ukrainian Armor presented the mobile command air defence post Novator 2

At the international defence exhibition MSPO in Poland, the company Ukrainian Armor unveiled a mobile command post built on the chassis of the Novator 2 armoured vehicle, Militarnyi reports.

The new complex is designed for operational coordination of air defence at the tactical level, bringing together anti-aircraft systems, mobile fire groups and reconnaissance assets. The Krechet control system can integrate up to five digital radars, ten mobile fire groups, and four night-time detection systems. It automatically distributes targets and can simultaneously manage up to ten target channels.

The cabin provides workstations for three operators and is equipped for monitoring the air situation, allowing up to 250 targets to be tracked simultaneously within a radius of 300 km. Radar stations and anti-aircraft systems integrated into Krechet are fully compatible with the equipment currently used by the Ukrainian military.

The mobile command post can be deployed within 10 minutes and is capable of operating 24/7 in fully autonomous mode.

As with the previous version, the command and staff vehicle retains the mobility and protection of the original Novator, able to withstand fire from small arms of 7.62 mm calibre (STANAG 4569 Level 1 standard). It also features enhanced mine protection against detonations under the wheels or hull from explosive devices equivalent to 6 kg of TNT.

It is also worth noting that Ukrainian Armor previously showcased the largest diesel UGV, the “Protector”, capable of carrying up to 700 kg of cargo.
