A company from the NTI Fund portfolio has completed the development of the first technological line of electronic components for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in Russia. The development has been completely localized and replaced foreign solutions, the supply of which has become complicated.
The press service of the NTI Fund clarified that the country has created five key microchips — for flight control, speed regulation, video signal transmission and radio communication.
The line includes two flight and speed control controllers, a video transmitter and transceiver control boards. Patent searches are now being completed. The operation of the components is provided by proprietary software.
The head of the development company, Givi Gotseridze, noted that foreign components create risks for manufacturers.
These are supply disruptions, the likelihood of malicious software and the lack of warranty obligations. Localization in Russia allows us to provide technical support and quality control.
According to the NTI Fund, the UAS market for business is growing by more than 60% per year. By 2028, its volume in Russia may reach 81 billion rubles, of which about 20 billion will fall on the domestic segment.
Domestic microchips are already being tested on various types of drones and are significantly lower in cost than foreign analogues, while being compatible with all types of drones.
