Russia's Armed Forces Set to Create Unified Flight Safety System

Russia's Ministry of Defense is developing hardware and software for the unification of information and analytical flight safety systems for the air force.

A demo version of the system is expected to be unveiled at a joint training meeting involving high ranking officials from the flight safety services. The meeting will take place on May 19-21.
