Magadan Oblast Boosts Forest Protection with Domestically Produced UAVs
Magadan Oblast has received six domestically produced 'Geoscan-801' unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for forest protection. This move aligns with Russia's priority to advance unmanned aerial technology, with UAS being one of the six key technological directions.
Five specialists from Magadan's Aviation Forest Protection have been trained to pilot unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) weighing up to 30 kg. Their training covered theoretical instruction and practical exercises in detecting illegal logging and assessing fire danger using UAVs.
The 'Geoscan-801' unmanned complexes have been transferred to subordinate institutions for immediate use in these activities. The use of UAS is expected to boost the efficiency of monitoring forest fires during suppression and enable timely detection of illegal activities.
By the end of 2025, Magadan Oblast's fleet of unmanned vehicles is set to grow with the addition of one more unmanned vehicle of the 'Dandelion' model. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is spearheading these efforts to enhance forest protection in the region.
