THE MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND TRADE OF RUSSIA HAS APPROVED THE PROCEDURE FOR ASSIGNING THE STATUS OF NPTS BAS

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation has approved the procedure for assigning the status of a scientific and production center for testing and competencies in the field of technology development of unmanned aircraft systems (NPC BAS), as well as a list of facilities of the NPC BAS. Obtaining the status of a research and production center will allow regions to receive subsidies for the creation of NPCs, and residents will be able to apply for support measures through the NTI Fund.

"In fact, the NPC BAS will be a technopark with specialization in the field of unmanned aircraft systems. We see in this tool the prospect of creating a new innovative infrastructure in the regions. The Association keeps its finger on the pulse and plans to actively develop this topic in order to achieve the goals of the National Project "Unmanned Aircraft Systems", - commented Mikhail Labudin, Director of the Association of Clusters, Technoparks and SEZ of Russia.
