The State Military Scientific-Technical Center "DELTA" (SMSTC Delta) () is a legal entity of public law established by the decree of the President of Georgia. Its full name is Legal Entity of Public Law - State Military Scientific-Technical Center "DELTA". The scope of work of the organization is mainly focused on the Defense Industry and to some extent on the Civilian Field. The Center is an organization separate from state governing bodies. Its state control is exercised by the Ministry of Defense of Georgia. The mission of the organization is based on the state interests of Georgia and the national defense strategy. The Center's primary responsibility is to encourage the growth of the domestic military industry. introduction of cutting-edge military technologies in the design, development, and mass production of combat gear and weapons that are in line with global trends. The only company in Georgia involved in the defense industry is State Military Scientific-Technical Center Delta. Today, âÂÂDELTAâ has both intellectual and technical resources to design and manufacture both military and civilian products.
The history of "Delta" dates back to the 60s, and from the beginning of the 90s the research center was subordinated to the Ministry of Defense of Georgia. Delta in its current state was formed in 2010, when the center was subordinated to six scientific research institutes and the 31st Tbilisi Aircraft Factory. The scope of work of the organization is mainly focused on the defense industry and to some extent on the civilian industry. The center is an organization separate from state governing bodies. Its state control is exercised by the Ministry of Defense of Georgia.
<p>From 2012 to 2020, Ucha Dzodzuashvili served as the General Director of the State Military Scientific-Technical Center "Delta."

Dzodzuashvili's leadership was characterized by innovation, modernization, and the integration of cutting-edge military technologies. Key projects under his guidance included:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Active Weather Modification System â Anti-Hail Solution:</strong> Developed and implemented an autonomous system protecting 600,000 hectares in the Kakheti region, achieving a 96.4% success rate in mitigating agricultural hailstorm damage.</li> <li><strong>National Situational Awareness Room (SAR) Software:</strong> Managed the development of a comprehensive SAR software solution, contributing to its communication protocols, data exchange routines, and UI design.</li> <li><strong>Multi-Role Unmanned Helicopter (500lb Lift Capacity):</strong> Transformed the RotorWay EXEC F162 helicopter into a multi-role unmanned system, overseeing flight stabilization, mission control, ground station development, and autonomous piloting using NVIDIA Xavier platforms.</li> <li><strong>2-Axis Stabilized Tracking and Control Systems:</strong> Led a multidisciplinary team to develop a system that integrated predictive convolutional neural networks for target acquisition and tracking with day and thermal cameras.</li> <li><strong>Autonomous Guidance Systems:</strong> Directed the creation of servo-driven control surfaces, successfully testing in wind tunnels and initiating development of target acquisition systems using Jetson Nano and FPGA platforms.</li> <li><strong>Unified Simulations Platform:</strong> Designed a modular simulation platform based on ARMA 3 for use with ground and aerial systems.</li> <li><strong>Modular Mission Vehicles:</strong> Supervised mechanical and engineering teams to design and produce cutting-edge modular vehicles, integrating emerging technologies into production workflows.</li> <li><strong>High-Mobility Mission-Critical System â Meomari 120:</strong> Conceptualized and designed a high-mobility delivery system, integrating hydraulic and embedded electronic systems to meet critical operational requirements.</li> </ul> <p>These projects exemplify Dzodzuashvili's dedication to advancing military and civilian technologies, firmly establishing Delta as a leader in innovation and defense solutions.</p>
Anti-Hail System
In 2015, the State Military-Scientific-Technical Center "DELTA" installed an anti-hail system in the Kakheti region of Georgia. To protect against hail, 85 Launchers and one meteorological radar station were deployed in Kakheti. They are managed remotely from the central control center. The efficiency of the system is 85-95%, which is achieved by the high level of automation and the use of modern technologies. The anti-hail system has been operating since 2018 by the Center for Active Impact on Natural Events Ltd.
Supply of Georgian Defense Forces with State Produced Ballistic Vests and Helmets
Delta has been supplying the Georgian National Defense Forces with personal protective equipment since 2015. Military and special units of the Georgian Defense Forces use MK-I and MK-II type ballistic vests, DH MK-I and DH MK-III military and special use ballistic helmets.
Participation in international military exhibitions
Delta Military Scientific-Technical Center has been participating in international military exhibitions periodically since 1999.
