Promising technologies for drones (federal project)

2024: Federal Project Launch

In mid-June 2024, it became known that the federal project "Promising Technologies for Unmanned Aircraft Systems" (ALS) was launched in Russia. It aims to ensure the technological independence and global competitiveness of domestic drones.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko spoke about the initiative. According to him, by 2030 it is planned to train more than a million specialists in the field of ALS in Russia. The Promising Technologies for Drones project is focused on nine priority areas. As of June 2024, 42.8 thousand schools and organizations of secondary vocational education, as well as about 70 universities, are participating in the work. Among the key tasks of the project is the implementation of the following research and development work:

• "Navigation, radio navigation technologies";
• "Computers, photonic integral information systems";
• "New manufacturing technologies and new materials for ALS";
• "Technologies of group interaction of BVS, decision-making and complex control systems of BVS";
• "Technologies and means of integrating unmanned aircraft into a single airspace";
• " Vision Technologies for ALS";
• "Technologies, layouts and principles of BVS movement";
• "Technologies, Methods and Means of Communication";
• "Power and Power Plants."

Moscow Fiztech (MIPT) assumed the duties of the project office of the federal project "Promising Technologies for ALS." The MIPT is responsible for the terms of reference and scientific expertise, including the assessment of the technological validity of the work. As the rector of MIPT Dmitry Livanov noted, the creation of a project office and related competence centers will allow designing the production of advanced unmanned systems that have been competitive for 10-15 years.^[1]
