Specialists from the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) are working on creating a domestic complex for controlling small and medium-sized drones. The development is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "Promising Technologies for UAS" on the basis of the Avionics Center and the Department 703 "System Design of Aviation Complexes".
According to Gleb Boyarsky, leading engineer of the Avionics Center, many modern UAVs use open source code, which reduces their reliability and complicates integration with other systems.
As a result, the consumer receives a UAV with wide functionality, but non-transparent logic of operation, difficult integration with external systems and low reliability.
The new complex is designed to solve this problem through a well-thought-out architecture and a Russian element base. The system includes signal processing from sensors, radio control, flight stabilization and route control. It is suitable for both multicopters and tailsitters — hybrid aircraft that combine vertical take-off and airplane flight mode. The project is scheduled for completion in 2026.
