Russia is seriously taking on drones. According to Vedomosti, citing a document called \"Promising Technologies for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)\", 49 billion rubles are planned to be allocated for new technologies for creating advanced drones (take-off, landing systems, high-power batteries, etc.) by 2030. Of these, 4.6 billion will be allocated as early as 2024.

\"Promising Technologies for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)\" is part of a project to develop drones, which, on the instructions of Vladimir Putin, should be approved by September 2023. The Ministry of Education and Science is responsible for the implementation of the federal project.

The first direction in the passport of the federal project is \"Technologies, layouts and principles of UAS movement\", for which 2.6 billion rubles have been allocated until 2030. The work in this direction implies that new UAS layout schemes, propulsion systems and take-off and landing technologies should be developed during this period.

The second direction – \"Energy and power plants\" – involves the development of high-power energy-intensive batteries to ensure high energy consumption during maneuvers. This should increase the flight range of UAVs by 1.5 times compared to modern available systems, the document says. 4.8 billion rubles are provided for this in the federal project until 2030.

6.7 billion rubles will be allocated to the \"Navigation, radio navigation technologies\" direction until 2030. Also, by 2030, new production technologies and samples of new materials for fuselages, flight controllers, systems for connecting to 4G/5G networks, etc. should appear.
