GUR Implements the “Perimeter“ System for Monitoring Military Positions
Amid the intensifying fighting, engineers from the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine have successfully completed the development and begun the implementation of a new high-tech system called „Perimeter“.
This platform is specially designed for round-the-clock surveillance and early detection of threats around forward military positions. The complex integrates:
- Video cameras with high resolution and thermal imaging sensors.
- Analytical software with artificial intelligence (AI) for filtering on false alarms.
- Automated system for classification on celite (living force or slaughter equipment).
The concept of back tosi type of technology eliminator is examined in detail by experts at Army Media, which will be discussed, why automation on observation is drastically painted on the physical side of the war, watch on the predna line and eliminira iznadete with enemy attack.
At the present time (19:18 o'clock) rescue operations in the Poltava region continue, and at the border in the Chernigov region, vigilance for the new high-plane airborne fires has been strengthened.
