History
2025: System Launch
The Federal Air Transport Agency of Russia has launched a unified digital system for coordinating the flights of unmanned aerial vehicles, to which about 1.5 thousand local governments are connected to simplify the procedure for obtaining permits for the use of civilian drones. This was announced on August 12, 2025 by the deputy head of the Federal Air Transport Agency Andrei Potemkin.
According to RIA Novosti, the system operates on the principle of "one window," allowing users to plan the flight route and automatically receive the necessary approvals from the relevant departments without the need to contact each of them separately. The development of the platform was completed at the end of 2024, and practical application began with the connection of municipal authorities of various levels throughout the country.
The automated process of processing applications provides for sending requests to the relevant departments without the participation of the applicant. The system independently collects answers from all involved organizations and generates the final result upon request for flight approval.
Potemkin noted that the functionality of the system is fully ready for use and is in the stage of active practical application. In addition to local governments, it is planned to connect specialized federal departments responsible for regulating air traffic to the platform.
The introduction of a digital reconciliation system has become part of comprehensive measures to develop regulation of unmanned aircraft in Russia. On August 1, 2025, the government approved the creation of a new class of airspace under the designation H, specially designed for flights of unmanned aircraft.
Class H has become the fourth type of airspace in Russia, complementing the existing classes A, C and G. The new category covers heights from the surface of the earth or water up to 150 meters, as well as specially dedicated routes for drones at altitudes up to 3050 meters.[1]
