The Russian company GLONASS is testing a number of its drone technologies jointly with Belarus. This was stated by the company’s CEO Aleksei Raikevich on the sidelines of the International Transport and Logistics Forum in Minsk, Sputnik reports.
According to him, the company has already tested a drone on the territory of Belarus with connection to the Russian platform “Unified Identification System.”
“We brought a drone to Belarus, it was connected to the platform. We monitored it, collected its data. Roaming works — meaning it could fly even today, so to speak, but from a regulatory standpoint, some work still needs to be done,” Raikevich said.
He named the ultimate goal as creating seamless cross-border unmanned logistics within the Union State. The head of the company noted that this requires a unified information space so that when a drone leaves the airspace of one country, it remains under the supervision of authorities in both countries simultaneously.
According to him, the company is technically ready for this, but further work is needed on the regulatory framework and obtaining permits from the relevant regulators, including security agencies.
