All general military units of Russia will switch to a special automated troop control system (ACCS). The command will be able to monitor the combat situation and give orders. Experts say that innovation will help the opponent one step ahead. ACCS has already received its code name - "Acacia-M". Next year, all combined-arms units will switch to it. More than 21 billion rubles have already been allocated for this.
The Ministry of Defense staff told the media that Akatsiya-M consists of staff vehicles with special equipment. Based on the four-axle trucks "KAMAZ", which ensures high throughput of the complex. It takes place in minutes on any terrain.
In 2011, the army received the system "Acacia", intended for peaceful purposes. It allows logistical services to keep records of food, material values and uniforms.
"Acacia-M" is intended for military operations. With the help of encrypted radio and satellite channels, a common information field is created, uniting command posts and headquarters with continuous communication. Additionally added intelligence tools, including satellites and drones.
The system continuously receives and processes useful data about the actions of the enemy, and the situation. Special attention is paid to the combat readiness of equipment, the availability of ammunition, fuel and lubricants, and even the psychological component of the personnel.
The received data is immediately displayed on the electronic map. This allows you to instantly assess the situation and make decisions. Possibilities of automated command and control systems make it possible to give orders even to the detachment of servicemen.
"Acacia-M" is associated with special systems of other types and types of troops of the country. Commanders can freely manage parts and formations of the Navy, Airborne Forces and VKS. It is connected to the National Center for Defense Management (NUAW) of the Russian Federation. This will help speed up the process of managing the army and get ahead of your rival. Experts believe that this unified network will be an important tool for command and control of troops.
