UAS industry in Russia is developing actively both in military and commercial field with support from the State. UAS Conference gives great opportunities to learn more about the industry and market in Russia which are strongly associated with the global unmanned industry. UAS Conference’s program involves a wide range of industry issues – practical, technological, regulatory, law, insurance etc., thus allowing you to see the “big picture”.

As a practical activity, test-piloting of the new unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is planned for the visitors.

Test-piloting would involve a modern all-purpose drone – hexacopter DJI F550. This craft could be equipped with a camera that streams video to the operator’ smart helmet that allows to control the UAV from the “first person view”.

Specialists from Danfuture will assist with test-piloting: they will show participants the basics of the modern drone piloting and will tell about the training process. Test-piloting will take place at the Danfuture stand at a certain time, which will be announced to the opening of the exhibition.
