The Russian Aerospace Forces have tested for the first time an air defence automatic control system (ACS) fitted with elements of artificial intelligence (AI), the newspaper Izvestia reports. The control system automatically analyzes the aerial situation and issues recommendation on the use of arms. The targets will be categorized as individual and collective, their type, threat level, speed, altitude and flight direction will be determined and conveyed. Thus the commander will get a complete picture of the enemy’s actions and recommendations for elimination. 

The ACS system can be integrated on  S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, as well as Pantsir gun-and-missile anti-aircraft system.
