A new center of competence for development (CCC) for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) will be created in Russia on the instructions of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. Its participants will analyze the software (SW) for drones available on the market, and will also offer import-substituting solutions.
In fact, the center will become a meeting place for developers and customers of software for aircraft. The CCC includes representatives of the following companies: JSC "Geoscan", "Aeroscript", Kaspersky Lab, "Rostelecom", "Sber", NTI, "Skolkovo".
It is noted that the center, which will be headed by former Minister of Transport Yevgeny Dietrich, will be engaged in the development of a number of areas. In particular, the development of simulators and hardware and software systems for drones, the improvement of the regulatory framework, the creation of digital platforms for the certification of aircraft, and the solution of problems of safe use of UAS.
It is also known that the Russian government intends to launch 10 mega-projects of technological sovereignty. One of them was the mega-project on UAS. We are talking about the release of a deeply localized product line developed by Russian companies. The total investment in each project is up to 10 billion rubles. In addition, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation plans to prepare a regulatory and methodological framework for evaluating the results of mega-projects by the end of 2023.
Earlier it was reported that an expert group presented a draft GOST for the training of drone operators.
