An unmanned aircraft of the Geoskan 701 type can perform video monitoring in the optical and infrared ranges, as well as conduct APIs while in the air for up to 10 hours. Thanks to this, the forces of the Ministry of Emergency Situations will be able to conduct long-term monitoring of fire, flood and ice conditions in real time, to ensure the performance of search work in hard-to-reach areas, in water areas, in forests and in the mountains.

ALS will help detect the sources of accidents and emergencies, eliminate their consequences, assess the scale and damage, conduct search and rescue operations, and control the ice situation. At the same time, the launch point of the drone can be at a considerable distance from the subject.

Given the long distances, difficult weather and landscape conditions, the use of ALS in remote regions is the most effective and safe way to obtain information about the real situation on the ground during an emergency in order to make competent management decisions when eliminating their consequences. In addition, EMERCOM specialists will be able to use ALS to create orthophofuels of given areas and 3D models of potentially dangerous objects in order to assess the risks of emergencies and minimize their consequences, - commented Mikhail Mezhuev, head of the department for work with particularly significant customers of Geoskan Moscow.

Tests in EMERCOM of Russia

The entire line of industrial ALS "Geoskana" was successfully tested in the EMERCOM of Russia. Geoskan announced this on July 22, 2024.

Testing of unmanned aircraft systems of the aircraft type Geoskan 201, Geoskan 701 and multirotor type Geoskan Gemini, Geoskan 401 Lidar, Geoskan 801 was carried out in May and July 2024 at the Putilovo airfield in the Leningrad Region with the participation of representatives of the Main Departments of the Russian Emergencies Ministry in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. According to the results of the tests of the Geoskan ALS, they were recommended for the implementation of tasks for the purpose of unmanned aviation units of the EMERCOM of Russia within the framework of a unified state system for the prevention and elimination of emergency situations.

Testing was carried out to assess the technical level, capabilities and operational properties of ALS in the performance of tasks by the EMERCOM of Russia, study the technical solutions laid down in ALS, confirm the technical characteristics of aircraft and software declared by the manufacturer and determine the feasibility of their use in the interests of EMERCOM of Russia.

During the tests, BVS flights were carried out to carry out tasks for the purpose, including for aviation support of measures to prevent emergency situations and eliminate their consequences, conduct emergency rescue, search and rescue and other urgent operations. The objectives of the testing were achieved, the objectives were fully fulfilled. Unmanned aviation equipment worked well during flights, failures and malfunctions were not recorded.

The introduction of ALS produced by Geoskan into the EMERCOM of Russia will increase the effectiveness of civil defense measures, expand the ability to solve problems in emergencies and eliminate the consequences of natural disasters, natural and man-made disasters, reduce costs and reduce possible losses in personnel during their implementation. We are proud that the entire line of Geoskan industrial drones has successfully passed the tests and confirmed its functionality to solve the problems of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, "commented Alexey Yuretsky, General Director of Geoskan.
