Russia uses more than 170,000 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), but only 4% of them are domestically produced, said Mikhail Pogosyan, Rector of the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI), at the Aerospace Science Week international forum.
He emphasized that the remaining UAVs are imported.
We won't be able to develop the market this way, we won't be able to be competitive in the global market
Thus, to develop the market, we need people who can implement ideas, we need new educational programs, Pogosyan believes.
In his speech, the Rector of MAI drew attention to the speed of development of UAV technologies. Since 2010, when the development of amateur devices began, there has been a major leap forward.
In particular, the formation of consumer and commercial drone markets has begun. According to Pogosyan's estimates, the unmanned cargo transportation segment will actively develop in the thirties. In the future, he expects the emergence of a market for unmanned taxis and a transport system integrated with these technologies.
Earlier, the "Agency for Technological Development" stated that by 2030, drone flights will be carried out at 45 airports in the country. At the same time, the infrastructure necessary for cargo drones will appear in all regions of the Russian Federation.
