The Baikal Research and Production Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (RPC UAS) announced the inclusion of two Irkutsk companies in its resident registry; they have begun implementing three projects focused on educational technologies and the field operation of UAVs.
OOO "Tsifrovaya Laboratoriya" will focus on creating the "Kvant" construction kit, a modular set for assembling a multirotor quadcopter. Unlike ready-made commercial drones, the kit allows students to sequentially master the stages of design: from selecting propellers and motors to calibrating the flight controller and configuring stabilization systems. Special attention is given to training in visual piloting without relying on autonomous modes, which gives operators fundamental control skills in situations involving onboard electronics failure.
The production cooperative "Tochka Otscheta" is launching two parallel projects. The first is the development of a line of portable control consoles, including the PPU-1K model, optimized for use with multirotor platforms in low-temperature and high-humidity conditions. The console is equipped with a reinforced body, tactile feedback, and an interface for connecting additional sensors, which expands the pilot's capabilities when monitoring hard-to-reach areas.
The cooperative's second project is the "Skopa-3" fixed-wing unmanned aircraft, positioned as a universal flying platform for environmental monitoring, power line inspection, and agricultural reconnaissance tasks. A key feature of the aircraft is the modular design of the fuselage and wing, which makes it possible to replace damaged units in 15–20 minutes by a single operator without special tools.
