An integrated unmanned aviation complex has started functioning as part of one of the military units of the border troops of the State Security Service of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The new facility is part of a systematic strengthening of national security in the face of growing external challenges and technological transformation in the defense sector.
The complex includes a situation center, where representatives of various law enforcement agencies coordinate operational actions to protect the state border. The center is equipped with modern communication and analytical tools that ensure real-time decision-making.
The creation of such an infrastructure node in the border service system significantly increases the effectiveness of monitoring the territory and rapid response. Currently, a project is being implemented in parallel to launch a Single control Center for unmanned systems in the Armed Forces. It is assumed that he will coordinate combat training flights, monitor the airspace and ensure the standard operation of UAVs.
More than a hundred military personnel were trained abroad, having received qualifications in the management and maintenance of unmanned vehicles. They are already training the following groups, transferring skills in performing tactical tasks, acting in emergency situations and emergency management. The practical part of the training takes place on specialized simulators that simulate combat conditions.
Special attention is paid to technical control: each vehicle passes a mandatory check before departure and after landing, including diagnostics of navigation and electronic equipment.
Against the background of the development of unmanned infrastructure, work is underway to launch mass production of domestic UAVs with a high degree of localization. The project involves national software developers and manufacturers of electronic stuffing.
Adding to the overall picture of aviation industry development, the Navoi Free Economic Zone is expected to launch production of SP-30 light-engine aircraft. Previously, deliveries of these models to Uzbekistan were carried out from the territory of Russia. The SP-30 is a two-seat aircraft with a short take-off and landing (STOL) engine capacity of 100 hp. It is widely used for aerial photography, training tasks and tourism.
The production of the SP-30 on the territory of the republic will expand the technological sovereignty of Uzbekistan in the field of small aircraft and give an additional impetus to the training of pilots and technicians. The first Uzbek aircraft of this model may be released in the fall of this year.
