Russia Creates Chips to Control Drone Flights: Replaced China

Low microcontroller performance was offset

Russia has created its own software for flight controllers of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which runs on domestically produced chips. The new equipment will reduce dependence on imported components.

The new chips were developed by the company "Original Russian Controllers." Representatives said that most controllers are currently purchased in China, as domestic developments are often weaker in terms of characteristics. However, the new software will correct this deficiency through deep optimization.

The software was written from scratch. The solutions will be distributed under license and supplied to the foreign market.

Andrey Novikov, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of SM of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, believes that such software will be in demand. He recalled that the Soviet government, even with advanced developments, actually buried an entire industry and it is impossible to make up for lost time.

Our mass microprocessors simply have no chance. They will always be insufficiently powerful and energy efficient.

Currently, the developer is also developing motor control systems and writing software for aircraft-type unmanned systems.
