It serves as the primary command post for the air defence commander of a motorized rifle or tank regiment, integrating and controlling various short-range air defence systems.
It was notable at the time of its introduction for being the first air defence command post in the USSR, and one of the first globally, capable of operating its radar and managing targets while on the move (a "heavy track" capability).
