CJSC “MCST” and
KB “Panorama” conducted tests of the developed purpose, the purpose of which was to check the functioning of the domestic
GIS Operator on the Elbrus software and hardware platform.
This GIS was adopted for the supply of the Armed Forces by the order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation No. 598 dated August 15, 2013, which makes it a strategically important resource. It is designed to manage maps of terrain, images and matrices based on the atlas of maps, create maps of the operational situation, display 3D models of the terrain and operational environment.

The GIS Operator is a system for creating a single information space based on a common presentation format for a cartographic base (SXF), which is used in the following departments:
- Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
- Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation
- Federal Service for Drug Control
- Blood Service
- Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation
- Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation
- Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Disaster Relief
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
A prototype of the
Elbrus 4-processor computing complex was used as a hardware-software platform for testing. This complex is based on the
Elbrus-4C microprocessor, and the AMD Radeon video card with hardware acceleration support for 3D graphics. As the operating system used
OS "Elbrus" .
Since Earlier, the GIS Operator was developed for the Windows and Linux platforms (
MSVS ), and when it was translated, it was necessary to recompile the program for the above OS.
The tests carried out demonstrated the full functionality of the
GIS Operator when working on the
Elbrus platform, as well as the high speed of the system, sufficient for comfortable work of the staff.
In my opinion, these tests indicate that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation decided to seriously engage in the translation of strategically important systems for domestic development.
