2025: Creation of the Council

Ministry of Defence Russia announced the creation of a new specialized unit - the Technical Council for the Development of Unmanned Systems and Technologies for Marine Use. This interdepartmental working group will deal with the accelerated development and commissioning of advanced marine unmanned systems for the Navy. This became known on April 22, 2025.

According to Kommersant, Admiral Alexander Moiseev, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, will lead the new structure. The council will be attended by representatives of the presidential administration, the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies (CBST), the United Russia party, the Popular Front, as well as a number of small and medium-sized companies in the military-industrial sector specializing in the development and production of naval drones.

According to the press service of the CBST, the technical council will become a specialized platform for intensifying the development of promising technologies and providing the fleet with advanced solutions from companies of the so-called "people's defense industry." It is planned that these tasks will be solved by using the existing experience of scaling the production of drones and other systems.

Admiral Moiseev has already been shown the latest practical developments in the field of unmanned systems from residents of the CBST. Among the flagship models closest to serial implementation in the interests of the Navy, one can distinguish the keyless boat "Katran" and the FPV-drone "Starling of the Navy," adapted to launch from ships and boats.

The Ministry of Defense has determined specific deadlines for the implementation of measures to select technologies - until August 31, 2025, as well as the transfer of promising products for functional tests of the Navy - until October 31, 2025. After that, it is planned to form a state order, start mass production and put new marine unmanned systems into service.[1]
