On August 31, 2023, at a meeting of the Presidium of the Commission on UAV Development, the government discussed a plan of priority actions to launch a national project for the development of the industry, the start of which is scheduled for January 1, 2024. Earlier, the Presidium of the Government Commission on UAV Development approved five federal projects that are part of the national project. The document has been sent for final approval.

During the meeting, the finland whatsapp resource interim results of decisions that the government must make before launching the national project were considered. At present, the list of key achievements in the field of UAVs for 2023 includes 16 events.

(Minpromtorg) told a ComNews correspondent that the development of the national project on UAVs has been completed, and its provisions and parameters have been formed. "Federal projects have been approved, and the national project was approved at a meeting of the presidium of the government commission on UAV development on August 24, 2023. The stage of consideration at the project committee has been completed, and approval of the national project is planned at the presidium of the council for strategic development and national projects," the press service of the department said.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation is completing interdepartmental coordination of amendments to Resolution No. 719 "On the specifics of developing and adopting administrative regulations for the provision of public services in 2023 and recognizing certain acts of the Government of the Russian Federation as invalid." The logical continuation will be adjustments to the current national government procurement regimes - prohibitions, restrictions, quotas. "We will begin drafting legislative acts in the near future. The public discussion of two draft acts has been completed: on the instrument for subsidizing flight hours and on providing discounts on UAVs. A similar discussion is ongoing on the certification support mechanism. We are collecting proposals and making adjustments. Next, we will have to go through the interdepartmental coordination stage," the representative of the press service of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia summed up.

The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Economic Development) continues to work on the implementation of the mechanism of experimental legal regimes (ELR) provided for by Federal Law No. 258 of July 31, 2020 "On experimental legal regimes in the field of digital innovation in the Russian Federation". "The law allows testing the capabilities of UAVs in various sectors of the economy: aeronautical logistics, agriculture, monitoring and extinguishing fires, aerial photography. A little more than a year has passed since the launch of the first ELR for drones, we are monitoring their implementation. Thus, three ELRs for the operation of UAVs have been established, as a result of which 33 companies have the opportunity to use UAVs in test mode for three years on the territory of six constituent entities of the Russian Federation," a representative of the press service of the department said.

Nikita Kulikov, CEO of the national robotics company RRX Robotix, clarified that the issue of operating drones has become extremely sensitive for the entire country and especially for security agencies in connection with recent events. "Flying drones have begun to cause a feeling of hostility and wariness among the general population. And this applies to absolutely all drones. Consequently, in such a situation, it is problematic to talk about the prospects for the development of the UAV direction. Civilian drones intended for use within the city and populated areas are progressing slowly. But regardless of the development of technology, size and characteristics, it is possible that such use of drones should be generally limited as much as possible and banned," Nikita Kulikov reasons.
