The infrastructure created (in the SEZ) will allow the UAS development company to launch a new educational drone with artificial intelligence into mass production on the territory of the capital's special economic zone at the end of 2025.

Thanks to built-in AI and machine vision, the drone is capable of recognizing objects, following a given route, and operating as part of a swarm of drones without the need to connect to a server. This makes it an ideal tool for educational purposes.

The drone received 4 brushless motors with individual control. Its speed reaches 20 km/h, and the flight time is 11 minutes.

The drone runs on Linux. This allows studying piloting and the principles of neural networks. Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) provides a stable connection even in the presence of interference.
