The Strilets team is creating a portable weather station, the Strilets Core, with a built-in ballistic calculator. The device is designed to measure weather conditions and automatically calculate corrections for firing. The developers also plan to integrate its ballistic core into the fire control systems of turrets and ground robotic complexes (GRCs), in particular for intercepting FPV drones.

The device is designed to measure weather conditions and automatically calculate corrections for firing. The developers also plan to integrate its ballistic core into the fire control systems of turrets and ground robotic complexes (GRCs), in particular for intercepting FPV drones.
As reported by "Military", Strilets Core will measure temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction, as well as the angle of inclination. Based on this data, the system will calculate corrections for the shot.
The device will be able to work without an Internet connection, using GPS. Among the declared characteristics are a weight of 234 g, IP67 housing protection, charging via USB-C from a power bank, and a Ukrainian-language interface. The weather station will support up to 10 weapon profiles, as well as the connection of remote sensors that will allow you to measure weather conditions from cover.
The developers have provided an API for integration with other systems.
The weather station is currently at the prototype stage. The working sample has undergone laboratory functional tests with the participation of the Dnipro Professional College of Radio Electronics.
According to the team, the sensors are operating within acceptable error limits, the device’s autonomy has been confirmed, and the prototype is ready for field testing. The next stage, the developers say, is the creation of a ballistic core for fire control systems.
Strilets emphasizes that they have their own ballistic core and database that are independent of foreign licenses. The team proposes to integrate this software into the fire control systems of turrets and NRCs.
To hit an aerial target with an automated turret, you need not only to detect the drone, but also to calculate the trajectory of the shot, taking into account weather conditions.
The weather station would provide the fire control system with wind, temperature, and atmospheric pressure data. The ballistic core, in turn, would use these data to calculate the necessary corrections.
At the same time, the API itself is not enough for automatic integration: to transfer data, it will be necessary to configure software interaction with the equipment of a specific turret or NRC manufacturer. Strilets states that they are ready to cooperate with developers of such systems.
