Agrodrones called "Phoenix-E", "Phoenix-DG" and "Drofa-S", developed by the "Istok" enterprise, which is part of the "Rosel" holding of the Rostec State Corporation, have received certificates from Rosaviatsiya. The documents confirm the reliability and flight technical characteristics of unmanned aircraft systems designed for agriculture.
The "Phoenix-E" and "Phoenix-DG" models are drones with an airplane-type design and vertical take-off and landing, designed for monitoring land plots. "Drofa-S" is made according to a multi-rotor scheme and is used for spraying fertilizers.
Agrodrones are equipped with a domestic flight automation and navigation system, which provides the possibility of autonomous flights with an easy transition to manual control. Communication is also protected from external influences and is duplicated by backup channels.
Rosel noted that the certification of drones opens up new prospects for entering the Russian market and replacing foreign analogues. The products are now included in the register of Russian industrial products.
