Ukrainian Defense Consulting Ltd was incorporated in 2006 in response to the need to provide Western

customers with seamless access to former Warsaw Pact defense products and manufacturers, and to provide

value added services to those clients more familiar with procurement methods and procedures practiced in

NaTO countries.

UDC acts as a single point liaison with all major Ukrainian licensed exporters while maintaining a comprehen-

sive network of relationships with individual manufacturing, overhaul and research establishments throughout

Ukraine and Eastern Europe.

Since inception I have been fortunate to be able to work with a team of exceptional talent, which has enabled

the company to grow from a zero base to $30m annual turnover in its first four years. I firmly believe that this

level of activity can be sustained and enhanced in the future by focusing on our core strengths and further

developing the important client relationships which have helped the company to attain its current position.

Ukraine has a wealth of design, manufacturing and overhaul expertise which is currently undergoing

reassessment and upgrade. I see UDC’s function as not only providing a connection to existing facilities but

to play a proactive role in ensuring that those facilities are developed and upgraded to meet the needs of our

clients in the twenty-first century.

Taras Rud President

UDC was incorporated to assist international customers seeking sources for

The Universal Ballistic Computer was developed by Ukrainian Defense Consulting in response to a user requirement for a portable, rapid and accurate fire direction computer. Originally developed for and in use with the D-30 howitzer, the computer can be configured for any artillery system — former Warsaw Pact or NaTO.

advantages of the Universal Ballistic Computer include:

Field artillery is imperative to controlling the operational environment. UDC’s Universal Ballistic Computer relieves training challenges, significantly reduces user error and eliminates the need for time consuming manual calculations in the field.

The UDC Electronic gun Sight (EgS) is designed to replace the conventional mechanical vertical sight and provide an easy and accurate means of laying an artillery weapon in the vertical plane, as well as providing correction for any lateral displacement in the trunnion axis. Originally designed for use with the D-30 howitzer, the sight can be configured for use on any artillery weapon.

The unit provides the following advantages:

UDC is currently creating an electronic solution for the horizontal plane to complement the existing EgS.

• Reduces time required to lay an artillery piece by 50%

• Easy to use and reduces user error

• Cost effective substitute for hard to replace vertical sights

Cognizant of the ever increasing demand for innovation in the twenty-first century, UDC is positioning itself at the forefront of technological development in the security and defense sector.

Closely allied to a number of research institutes, UDC is ideally placed to bring the latest upgrades and improvements to weapon systems, radars and tactical software to its clients.

These institutes are producing truly innovative products which have widespread application throughout the world and in particular to established users of former Warsaw Pact equipment.

With access to this research and development capacity, UDC has been able to develop the Universal Ballistic Computer (formally adopted for training and field deployment by Coalition artillery mentors in afghanistan) and the new UDC EgS, both of which can be configured for use with any field artillery system. Other products to be released in the near future are a semi-automatic loading machine for use with the D-30 howitzer and a sling loading system to allow the D-30 howitzer to be carried under a helicopter.

UDC provides a gateway to these technologies and provides creative input to ensure that the end product properly meets customer needs.

Plus individual display stands for key structural components such as airframe, engine, gear box and landing gear.

The package includes a range of interactive computer programs to test student knowledge and progress. Controlled by two instructors using a Local area Network, up to fifteen students can receive training simultaneously.

In its full configuration, the patented avia Training Center delivers the ultimate solution in mi-17 helicopter pilot and flight engineer training in one comprehensive package. By using a range of different training tools to thoroughly familiarize students with all aspects of the functioning helicopter, pilots and engineers have a thorough and instinctive grasp of individual systems long before they reach the cabin.

The center was accepted as an approved helicopter training system by Ukrainian State Flight authorities in 2004 and purchased by the Ukrainian ministry of Defense in 2007 with the express intention of replacing much of their former flight training program.
