2024: Product Announcement
An unprecedented Sarma unmanned aerial vehicle has been created at the Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU NETI). The press service of the university reported in May 2024. This innovative agrodron is capable of covering distances of up to 1200 km, carrying loads weighing up to 120 kg on board. Such characteristics make it truly unique in the field of civil use in Russia.
 | The totality of the characteristics of Sarma has no analogues among civilian drones in our country. This is our absolute novelty, - said Ilya Zverkov, professor of the Department of Aircraft and Helicopter Engineering at NSTU NETI. |  |
He noted that the key advantage of the development is its exceptional energy efficiency due to the use of a hybrid power plant. This technical solution makes it possible to significantly increase the flight range taking into account the required carrying capacity and other parameters requested by the customers.
The developers believe that Sarma will be in high demand for transporting goods over significant distances, monitoring vast agricultural land, as well as other long facilities, such as borders, pipelines, coastlines, etc. In 2024, the creation of similar drones with a similar set of functional capabilities for use in the civil sphere in Russia is not possible.
According to Arthur Otto, Vice-Rector for Scientific Work of NSTU NETI, the university has all the necessary competencies for the development and construction of heavy unmanned aerial vehicles with various payload options for specific customer tasks. Complete localization of production will allow you to flexibly adapt the technologies used to meet the incoming requirements.
The Novosibirsk university plans to become one of the main sites of the research and production center for the creation of domestic unmanned aerial vehicles in the Novosibirsk region. This will make it possible to fully realize the existing technical potential of the university's developments for their application in the civil sphere.[1]
