- The most promising developments of unmanned aircraft systems are named
The National Technology Initiative Project Support Fund has completed the third selection of developers of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Grants worth 2.3 billion rubles were awarded to 35 research and development startups.
The purpose of the competitive selections is to develop the UAS industry in Russia and stimulate promising developments, the creation of advanced serial drones, high—tech components, and the organization of subsequent testing, piloting, and production. The selection of projects is carried out among the residents of the national project "Unmanned Aircraft Systems".
"The foundation's experts reviewed 143 applications based on the results of a large-scale third selection of projects from all over the country. Of these, only 99 have passed the examination. As a result of the review, 35 projects became winners. They will open up new opportunities for the development of technological leadership. These include the use of artificial intelligence in the operation of UAS, the ability to transport loads up to 100 kg and new ways to train operators. All projects have already been contracted for the development and implementation of new solutions," Vadim Medvedev, General Director of the NTI Foundation, told Izvestia.
Among the new projects that have received funding, the experts of the NTI Foundation reported on the five most promising. These are the onboard module of an integrated control system (ICS) based on artificial intelligence, a hybrid UAS complex consisting of an aerial UAV with a payload capacity and a specialized ground drone, the uDrone Leader unmanned aircraft system, the Russian Sky simulator and the Jet-1 unmanned aircraft aircraft.
