Russia launches high-volume production of components for UAVs

Russia has launched the first large-scale production of key components for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which has no domestic analogs. A source in the defense industrial complex (DIC) told Izvestia.

According to the interlocutor, this will allow for prompt delivery of components to customers without complex logistics chains, simplify and speed up the assembly of UAVs.

Rostec's press service confirmed the information to Izvestia.

"We have our own developments that have been executed and put into mass production in a short time. The relevance does not need to be explained, the country's need for such products is very high," the company said.

Another Rostec interlocutor familiar with the details of the project said that the production is carried out at the facilities of the subsidiary holding Roselectronics.

"The company's specialists have created a navigation module that ensures high accuracy of the drone's positioning in the air and allows it to navigate both by satellites and ground mobile base stations," a company official told Izvestia.

Different types of engine controllers are also being produced now - for UAVs with payloads of up to 10 kg and up to 25 kg, the interlocutor noted. They can be integrated into the design of not only air, but also land or marine drones. A flight controller has also been developed for small UAVs.
