United Aircraft Corporation together with Glory Air will establish an enterprise for the development and production of unmanned aircraft for civil and special purposes, UAC press service reported.
The Russian company Glory Air was established in 2011 and is engaged in localization of advanced technological solutions in the field of UAVs in Russia.
“The parties have defined the format of joint work, agreed on a promising product line and are conducting corporate procedures to establish a joint venture operating in the fast-growing segment of unmanned aircraft systems,” UAC said.
The partners plan to organize production of a line of aircraft-type drones with vertical takeoff and landing capability. The potential of a number of solutions in the payload mass range of 20 to 200 kg is being evaluated.
“UAC is consistently developing its competencies in the field of unmanned aircraft systems. Today we are working on a number of projects for off-airport based transportation drones. The interaction between UAC, which has considerable experience and expertise in aircraft construction, and Glory Air, which has expertise in light UAVs, will allow us to form a demanded line of solutions and claim a significant position in the Russian market,” commented UAC CEO Yury Slyusar on the establishment of the joint venture.
