Putin held a meeting on the development of unmanned systems. The main thing

On January 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the development of autonomous transport, where he announced the impressive variety of unmanned technologies in the country and instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to submit a plan for their widespread implementation. He stressed that Moscow is a leader in this field, and Russian engineers need to create unmanned systems on their own technological platform. All the details are in the Izvestia article.

What is known about the plans for drones

Putin, appreciating the exposition of advanced developments, said that the variety of domestic unmanned technologies is impressive. He noted that Russia has the scientific and industrial potential to become one of the world leaders in the field of autonomous systems. The development of this field, along with artificial intelligence, determines the future of the world.

The Head of State pointed out that Moscow is now the undisputed leader in creating an economy of unmanned systems, and this experience should be replicated in other regions. He sees special opportunities in the use of unmanned aircraft. Putin instructed the government to move faster from testing to widespread implementation of such solutions in key industries.

What tasks have been set for the Government

The President instructed the Government of the Russian Federation and the presidential administration to submit proposals to improve the management of the development of the national autonomous systems industry. These decisions should establish coordination between ministries, departments, regions and technology companies. It is also an important task to remove barriers preventing the introduction of drones.

Putin stressed that the introduction of autonomous systems should replace low-skilled and dangerous labor, which would lead to a high-wage economy. He also drew attention to the need to form a national unmanned transport industry based on a sovereign technological and production platform. A key role in this is assigned to domestic engineers who must write algorithms for drones.

What measures will be taken to develop the industry

The President noted the huge potential of the global unmanned systems market and said that Russia is expected there. He instructed the government to create comfortable customs procedures for the export of Russian products. In addition, it is planned to build joint branches of unmanned aerial vehicles in friendly countries, creating enterprises and training centers there.

Special attention was paid to the personnel issue. Putin said that the development of drones requires a serious review of the training system. The Government has been instructed to develop comprehensive educational programs and change current standards. Opportunities will also be created to involve veterans and military personnel with experience in operating combat drones in this work.

Introducing the experience of drone operators in their peaceful lives

The Head of State noted the importance of introducing the experience of combat drone operators serving in the special military operation zone (SVO) into civilian life. Putin instructed the government and the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation to create additional opportunities to involve veterans and injured military personnel in the development, production, and operation of autonomous systems.

The Russian leader also stressed that due to the development of unmanned systems, a serious review of personnel training mechanisms is required. He asked the Government to develop comprehensive training programs.
