Innovative company, developer of unmanned aerial systems, one of the key investors in the BAS cluster “Transport of the Future” in Samara region creates an experimental legal regime (EPR) for conducting flight tests of UAVs. The company’s press service reported.
On March 17, Transport of the Future submitted an official application to the Ministry of Economic Development for the introduction of the experimental legal regime in the region to conduct flight tests of the ABC. Aeroscript research center is the strategic partner of the company in the creation and operation of the EPR.
The creation of the EPR was one of the topics of discussion at the Council of the Volga Federal District under Igor Komarov, plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Volga Federal District. “Samara drones will be used in all sectors of the economy, including agriculture and transportation, as well as for a wide range of tasks,” said Governor Dmitry Azarov.
“The organization of unmanned air traffic is one of the main infrastructure challenges for developers,” comments Yuri Kozarenko, General Director of Transport of the Future. – Samara region may become one of the first regions in Russia, where the work of all UAS will be systematized and automated. This will not only increase the flight safety of all vehicles, but also provide an important contribution to the whole industry. Samara ABC cluster is created in accordance with the targets, approved by us together with the government of the Samara region, in execution of the instructions of the Russian president. These are specific obligations to create capacities for the mass production of several thousand BAS per year, including domestic structural elements and components, as well as the development of typical business models for the use of BAS”.
In the Samara region with the creation of the EAF it will be possible to conduct flight tests of UAS to deliver drugs, food and other cargoes over the Volga water area and other designated transport corridors, as well as monitoring and processing of agricultural land by UAS.
The creation of the EPR implies a comprehensive study, modeling and testing of the digital environment to practice typical business missions of UAS application and their integration into the general air traffic for the benefit of new types of business related to the provision of services using unmanned technologies.
