High-Precision Systems, part of the state corporation Rostec, presented the export version of its ‘Planshet-A’ artillery fire control system at the World Defense Show 2026 in Saudi Arabia.
Developed by VNII Signal, the system is already in operational use with military personnel; however, this new export configuration will be mounted on the armoured ‘Atlet’ chassis, enhancing its mobility and battlefield resilience.
According to the company’s press service, integrating ‘Planshet-A’ onto the ‘Atlet’ platform will significantly expand the capabilities of self-propelled and towed artillery systems, as well as multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS). The wheeled chassis configuration is designed to improve rapid deployment and manoeuvrability across varied terrain.
Among the system’s stated advantages are high mobility, swift deployment, operational autonomy and adaptability to different combat scenarios, as the company claims it enables commanders to receive real-time targeting data, including live video feeds from reconnaissance drones.
By accelerating the decision-making process, ‘Planshet-A’ reduces the time between target acquisition and strike execution, a factor seen as critical in modern artillery operations.
A system such as ‘Planshet-A’ could significantly enhance artillery effectiveness by accelerating the so-called sensor-to-shooter cycle.
By providing commanders with real-time target data, including live video feeds from reconnaissance drones, the system enables faster target identification and verification and the rapid transmission of coordinates to gun crews and rocket units.
Automated ballistic calculations, which factor in gun position, terrain and weather conditions, are intended to improve first-round accuracy while reducing the risk of human error and unnecessary ammunition expenditure. Mounted on a mobile, armoured chassis, the platform can also relocate quickly to avoid counter-battery fire while coordinating self-propelled and towed artillery, as well as multiple-launch rocket systems, in synchronised strikes.
The World Defense Show 2026 took place in Riyadh from 8-11 February.
At the event, the company said in a statement: “The Planshet-A artillery fire control system on the Atlet chassis is attracting interest among World Defense Show 2026 visitors.”
