Specialists from the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) are developing a software and hardware complex on a Russian component base for controlling medium and small drones. The work is scheduled for completion in 2026, according to the university's press service.
Engineer Gleb Boyarsky said that UAV developers are striving to create inexpensive devices, so they use open source code. Such solutions have many disadvantages, since they do not undergo the necessary testing.
As a result, the consumer receives a UAV with wide functionality, but opaque logic of operation, difficult integration with external systems and low reliability
The software and hardware complex from MAI is suitable for multirotor and fixed-wing drones. It is created in accordance with current industrial standards.
What functionality does the development include:
- interpretation of incoming signals from measuring devices
- drone control via radio communication line
- UAV position stabilization
- route control
The UAC, UZGA and the «Almaz-Antey» concern are interested in the results of MAI specialists.
