Antabos

Antabos is a Ukrainian defence company that developed KRIP-A, an automated artillery fire-control system built on C4ISR principles. The system links reconnaissance, command, and direct control of howitzers at their firing positions into one digital network for real-time fire missions: it ingests data from battlefield sensors and drones, calculates firing parameters automatically, and can lay and fire the gun remotely. It is built on geoinformation tools, inertial navigation with anti-jamming components and automated guidance with triple redundancy — a design intended to keep working under electronic warfare and to keep crews away from the gun while it is exposed.

The developers report sharp efficiency gains: the number of ranging shots needed to zero in is cut roughly fivefold, the time to complete a fire mission is cut by about three times, and the ammunition needed to hit a target falls by around 30 percent. KRIP-A is built to interoperate with NATO-standard artillery command frameworks, with compatibility claimed against the American AFADS, German ADLER, French ATLAS, British BATES, Norwegian ODIN, Italian SIR and Polish TOPAZ systems. It has been integrated onto the domestically produced 155 mm 2S22 Bohdana self-propelled gun and the RM-70 multiple-launch rocket system, with the first complexes reported as built in a matter of months once development began in late 2025.

The automation is best suited to self-propelled platforms, where faster aiming shortens the window a gun is exposed; on towed guns, which often sit where satellite positioning is unavailable, crews have questioned its value, since the system relies on knowing its own location to orient. KRIP-A works in the same battlefield command-and-control space as Ukraine’s Delta system and fusion-platform developers such as Griselda and ComBat Vision .
