Russian Drones Get Frequencies

A separate frequency band for civilian drones is necessary to create a unified infrastructure

The Russian government has decided to allocate a separate frequency band in the range from 5030 to 5091 MHz for civilian Russian drones. And this is important: on the one hand, standardization of the frequency band is necessary to create a unified infrastructure, and on the other hand, this approach will allow UAVs to legally share the sky with manned aircraft, that is, with airplanes.

Russia has already approved a national project for the development of unmanned aviation, and within its framework it is planned to create a unified communication and control, navigation and monitoring infrastructure for drones.

There is also a task to significantly increase the production of civilian drones. According to the Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, Vasily Shpak, about 18 thousand drones will be produced in Russia in 2024, and by 2030 the volume of UAV production will exceed 30 thousand units.
