"The ‘Position’ system is intended for the creation, storing, processing and generating [of] different types of geo information data, as well as the development of specialised software and solving analytical tasks," Petrov said.

"Position, combined with the automated control system, is expected to enable comprehensive control of all military resources from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok, and will be implemented by 2017."

Geo information systems collect, store and analyse visualisations of geographic data.

Based on the ArcGIS programme complex, which works in secured operational systems with the preset protected system of database management, Position currently exists only in the stationary format.

The stationary versions may feature less solid materials, and therefore could not fulfil battlespace requirements.

Petrov also said that the university has already created a working group to design interactive tables that could be made in several ways.

"After consultations with the representatives of several departments, we found demand for this product," Petrov added.

The institute is also developing an automated resource provisioning system to help the Russian Defence Ministry increase the transparency of acquisitions and help authorities keep records, according to RIA Novosti.

Position, combined with the automated control system, is expected to enable comprehensive control of all military resources from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok, and will be implemented by 2017.
