Russia would like to develop many new drones of various class and purposes by 2025 1905152.

“This is the first comprehensive and systematic program for the development of the drone industry in Russia. It coordinates the needs of law enforcement agencies for unmanned technology, as well as the state program for armaments and industrial measures that are necessary to implement the plans of federal structures,” said Sergey Skokov, Deputy CEO of United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation.

The document coordinates state programs for the equipment and development of the military-industrial complex drone program for 2016-2025. The program specifies timing and funding of relevant research and development, the purchase and production volumes for drones, maintenance repair costs, and timing and funding for the creation of capacities and technologies for serial production, financing, and testing facilities.

“Before now, no such detailed program existed,” said Vladimir Verba, CEO and General Designer of Concern Vega. “It focuses on the creation of domestic technologies, materials, and components. Group technological processes common to all types of drones are allocated separately in the program. "

He explained the emphasis on creating new, high-strength composite materials for glider drones. In addition, the program includes the development of highly efficient modern aircraft pistons and turbine engines, motors, efficient on-board power systems, and precision jamming-protected navigation systems with a high degree of autonomy. The program also outlines the establishment of special weapons for use by drones, starting and automatic landing systems, high-speed secure systems for receiving and transmitting data, and communication systems.
