Presidential Plenipotentiary Anatoly Seryshev and Governor Vladimir Mazur discussed the development of unmanned technologies in the Tomsk region

Anatoly Seryshev, Plenipotentiary of the President of Russia in the Siberian Federal District, held a joint meeting of the Council of the Plenipotentiary and the Council of the Interregional Association ‘Siberian Agreement’, discussing the implementation of the instructions of the Head of State, including the achievement of technological sovereignty in the main sectors of the economy.

Anatoly Seryshev, the Plenipotentiary of the Russian President, who gave instructions to the heads of the regions following the results of meetings and appointments, called the fulfilment of the instructions of the President of Russia an absolute priority of the work of the authorities of all levels. Currently, the Office of the Plenipotentiary is monitoring more than 780 instructions on various topics. In 2024, the implementation of the instructions was checked in the Republic of Tyva, Novosibirsk and Tomsk regions and concerned the issues of integrated development, housing for orphans, provision of land plots to favoured categories of citizens, including veterans and participants in special military operations.

According to Anatoly Seryshev, the engine of positive transformation processes is domestic science, and the plenipotentiary representative named unmanned aerial systems as an important industry for the formation of Russia's technological sovereignty. The Tomsk region has been identified as a platform for the introduction of an experimental regime for the operation of unmanned systems.

Universities and technical schools in the Siberian Federal District are training specialists for new promising industries. In the Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk and Tomsk regions, schoolchildren are being trained to work with UAVs.

In Tomsk region, a unique, the only large research and production centre in the Urals, with a flight-testing complex, a laboratory and research centre and a centre for collective use, is being created.

Drones have great potential for application in the economy: monitoring the condition of pipelines and highways; monitoring forest resources and their protection; treating crops with chemicals and much more.

Three universities (Tomsk Polytechnic University, Tomsk State University and Tomsk University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics) are training personnel in the field of unmanned aircraft systems. In the 2023-2024 academic year, about 800 people were trained in them. In the 2024-2025 academic year, about 1,500 people will be trained’.
