The "Rosel" holding of the Rostec state corporation for the first time showcased domestic agricultural drones "Phoenix-E" and "Drofa-S" at the CIPR-2026 conference. They were developed for agriculture: the drones can monitor the condition of fields, analyze vegetation, and assist in crop processing.
Rostec notes that such systems can replace manual labor over hundreds of hectares. "Phoenix-E" is designed as an aircraft with vertical take-off and landing and is equipped with an electric power plant. Its main task is to monitor agricultural lands: the device collects data on crop conditions and transmits information to the external pilot's station in real time.
"Drofa-S" is built on a multi-rotor scheme and is designed not only for observation but also for working with crops. The drone can carry tanks with liquid chemicals or containers with bulk substances, so it can simultaneously monitor the territory and treat plants.
Both drones operate in automatic mode, but if necessary, the operator can switch to manual control. The communication channel between the drones and ground stations is protected from interference and duplicated by backup lines.
Onboard intelligent systems with machine vision elements are responsible for data analysis. They help assess vegetation conditions, identify problem areas, and determine humidity levels.
"Phoenix-E" and "Drofa-S" are built on a domestic component base, have already been certified, and are included in the register of Russian industrial products.
