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 to be completed 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 broad functionality, but opaque operating logic, 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 being created in accordance with current industry standards.
What functionality does the development include:
- interpretation of incoming signals from measuring devices
- drone control via radio communication
- UAV position stabilization
- route control
OAK, UZGA and the «Алмаз-Антей» concern are interested in the results of MAI specialists.
