Autonomous drone stations "PASECA" begin testing in Russia

The new complex integrates charging, control, and maintenance of drones without human intervention

Testing has begun on a mobile robotic complex that allows for the deployment of a fully autonomous infrastructure for drone operation without constant operator involvement. This refers to the "PASECA" system, designed to automate the full cycle of UAV operations – from takeoff and flight to landing, maintenance, and return to base. This was reported by "Tekhnosfera Rossiya".

According to the developer, the complex is a distributed network of robotic drone stations. At its core are universal robotic platforms that act as autonomous drone service nodes. They provide for receiving aircraft after flight, technical maintenance, charging or replacing batteries, and preparing for the next flight.

The system is designed to control several drones simultaneously and can automatically distribute them among available stations.

The algorithms take into account weather conditions in the operating area, equipment readiness, and current network load, forming optimal tasks and landing priority. Additionally, the platform analyzes the UAV's condition before takeoff and collects flight data after missions are completed, reducing reliance on ground personnel.

Special attention is paid to the complex's operation in harsh climatic conditions. It is reported that in 2026, practical testing of the system is planned in the Arctic regions of Russia, with the equipment already delivered to Yakutsk and prepared for testing.
