"Unexpectedly for me, GTLK turned out

The General Director of JSC State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK) Evgeny Ditrikh spoke about the supply of domestic drones at the international forum "Digital Transportation 2024". He noted that GTLK has become the main supplier of drones in Russia.

to be the basic supplier of drones. We put in a lot of effort to get such a role. As a result, we received orders for domestic civilian drones worth more than 5 billion bahamas whatsapp number databa se rubles. We will deliver these drones to more than 150 customers at the federal and regional levels. We have already signed contracts. At the same time, many of our manufacturers have seen their orders increase exponentially. We plan to begin work on delivering drones as early as 2024," said Evgeny Ditrikh.

Pavel Stepanov, CEO of Geoscan Moscow LLC, noted the problems of high cost and localization of drones: "The industry faces a large number of challenges in terms of immersion in the national project. For manufacturers, the growth of the order volume is directly reflected in the possibility of production, provision of components, maximum localization, and cost reduction. We must move towards the availability of a drone for the user. In the future, it should not be so expensive that a small company could afford to use it in commercial projects. As for localization, many companies strive to ensure that its level exceeds 70%. The circulation of unmanned aerial vehicles already reaches tens of thousands. They require electric motors, batteries, boards, electronics, sensors - everything that fills the drone. And we see at least four teams that are engaged in localization tasks. They cooperate with engineering services. The trend in this direction is moving and will continue to develop."

Chairman of the Advisory Board of JSC Ecolibri Alexey Rogozin recalled the state support measures that will help solve the problem of the lack of heavy drones: "In Russia, there is not a single serial device in the category of heavy drones with a takeoff weight above 30 kg. However, the situation is changing before our eyes. Thanks to the national project, a number of state support measures have been launched that stimulate the creation of new industries. However, cargo routes have not yet been created on which devices in the category of large drones would fly. Full-fledged airlines that could operate them have not been created. But I am convinced that 2025 will be a turning point in this regard. We have already started using state support tools such as end-to-end research and development (R&D), subsidies for certification. How effective they will be - time will tell. But it is already clear that money has gone into the industry, and professional teams have begun to appear who know how to read airworthiness standards and work according to them."

General Director of JSC GLONASS Alexey Raikevich spoke in favor of creating hybrid communications: "Considering that the territory of our country is covered by cellular communications by just over 20%, satellite data transmission channels or satellite communications for mobile objects should appear. This is another element of the "hybrid communications" concept, which includes direct radio visibility channels, cellular communications. Satellite channels are necessary for the development of the industry. These should not be laboratory samples, but industrial applications. In this case, unmanned cargo delivery and monitoring of extended infrastructure facilities will also develop.
