As for the Impulse system, Ferchuk said the Ground Forces are currently showing the best pace of implementation, and by the end of December it will be extended to the Unmanned Systems Forces.
"With the help of key products that will be based on the military version of SAP, as the core for digitalizing processes, and Ukrainian developments, such as Impulse and Maino, but not only these systems, there will be more of them, we will ensure complete digitalization of personnel management processes, financial management and management of material assets, weapons and military equipment by 2026," the Deputy Minister said.
