Colonel-General Andrei Serdyukov, Chief of the CSTO Joint Staff, addressing the participants of the working meeting via videoconferencing, noted in particular that in the current conditions joint efforts were needed aimed at forming common views and approaches in the development of the communications system, as well as at adopting decisions at the interstate level that contribute to improving the system of control of coalition groups of troops in the interests of ensuring national and collective security.
“Taking into account the experience of the joint trainings conducted, targeted work in this area at the Joint Staff has been organized and is being carried out in close cooperation with the defense agencies of the CSTO member states. Its main goal is to further improve the communication system of the CSTO Troops (Collective Forces),” Colonel General Andrei Serdyukov, Chief of the CSTO Joint Staff, said.
The meeting participants have discussed the main areas of development of the organizational and technical integration of communications forces and means, options for organizing communications and data transmission using modern telecommunications means, and issues relating to the interfacing of communications equipment and means of communication. Particular attention was paid to the use in the contingents of CSTO Troops (Collective Forces) of promising communications equipment providing fundamentally new capabilities.
In the course of the working meeting, the results of the functioning of the communications system and automated troop control systems were examined, and ways of improving the technical basis for the Collective Security Treaty Organization's system of interstate information interaction were identified.
