Tomsk State University and RPC UAS will together transfer the technology and receive royalties from the production of UAVs<\/p>\n
A university and drone manufacturing center in the Russian region of Tomsk are preparing to sign a deal with India to transfer UAV technology and establish a local production facility.
\nThe upcoming partnership was announced by the rector of Tomsk State University (TSU), Eduard Galazhinsky, during the Industry Code conference, TASS reported. TSU and the Research and Production Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (RPC UAS) of Tomsk Region will transfer the technology.
\n\u201dOur colleagues are ready to transfer the funds for us to supply the technology for producing the unmanned system and build a factory in India,\u201d Galazhinsky said. \u201cThe university and the UAS Research and Production Center will transfer the entire package of technological solutions and then receive royalties.\u201d
\n\u201cWe need to sign an agreement with the Indian side now,\u201d he said. Other details of the deal have not been revealed, including who the Indian partners are.<\/p>\n

Galazhinsky noted that the agreement would provide the institutions in Tomsk with vital access to the international market, generating additional resources to support local workforce training and production development.
\nThe Tomsk-based RPC UAS, which is positioned to lead the technical side of the transfer, is the largest unmanned aircraft research and development hub beyond the Urals. The facility was opened in February last year as part of a national project and is backed by federal and regional funds.
\nIt operates under a special regional experimental legal regime designed to streamline drone testing.
\nIts capabilities span from initial design and additive manufacturing to final assembly and flight testing. The center has already successfully developed Russia\u2019s first domestic 50-kilowatt drone motor and produced a small batch of heavy-duty unmanned aircraft capable of carrying payloads of up to 200 kg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
