As previously reported, Ukrainian specialists developed a mobile ground station based on a minibus for this system. The control center by Ukrspecsystems is placed on the basis of a Torsus Terrastorm all-wheel drive bus. Ukrspecsystems' Shark drones are designed to provide the National Guard with high-quality intelligence information about the enemy.

These UASs are used by the Ukrainian military to reconnoiter, adjust, and record the destruction of various targets by artillery and other long-range weapons.
