The military can install it on any fixed surface and operate at a distance of up to 500 m. Journalists have noted that the Saber's Saber Management Pattomist Steam Deck, developed by the US company Valve, used to control the Saber. It is equipped with joystics, buttons as on a gamepad, as well as a 7 -inch screen and 1280x800 pixels. Valve released Steam Deck in February 2022 and the Ukrainian military found her unusual use.
This is the first documented use of Steam Deck for military purposes, but not the first use of video game controllers. For example, the US Army has been using the Himades from the Xbox 360 console to manage small land drones that help to neutralize non -break ammunition, and recently considered the US Navy to use the same controllers on board the Virginia.
Even Americans use controllers together with the Manuever-Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD), which are installed on Stryker's armored armored vehicles and NMESIS anti-ship missile launches. "Game companies have spent millions of dollars to develop the optimal, intuitive and simple user interface, and then they spent years to teach people to use this interface.
These projects are not accidental, because the military is taken from the same community as customers of companies, That is why the training has already been completed, " - said the employee of the New American Foundation Foundation, Peter Singer, who advised the developers of the Call of Duty video game series. Earlier, the Armed Forces showed how the Saber Complex under the coal was used.
