Anton Alikhanov, Vladimir Mazur and Olga Uskova presented projects of an industrial cluster of electronics and unmanned technologies at the Federation Council

The electronics and unmanned technology cluster was established on August 29th of this year following a visit to the Tomsk region by First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council, Andrey Yatskin, and the Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov.

The Minister summarized the results of the initial phase of work on establishing an industrial cluster in the Tomsk Region. Anton Alikhanov stated that all necessary regulatory frameworks have already been established, agreements have been reached on establishing the Tomsk Cluster, and a plan for its development has been approved.

By 2035, members of the cluster are expected to occupy up to 30% of the domestic market within their respective niches and establish a significant presence at markets of friendly nations. The level of localization of key products such as an autonomous tractor is projected to increase to 80%.

Governor Vladimir Mazur emphasized the significance of fostering growth in each region for Russia's benefit, and the Tomsk Region is no exception to this principle.

At the moment, the future of the country is being shaped both at the highest levels of government and in scientific laboratories, engineering centers, and design bureau. This was stated by Governor Vladimir Mazur at a meeting of the upper house of the Russian parliament, where he expressed gratitude to the speaker, Valentina Matvienko, for her personal support, as well as the leadership of the Federation Council, the Ministry of Industry and Trade headed by Anton Alikhanov, and Olga Uskova, the CEO of Cognitive Pilot.

Mazur highlighted that this year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade registered three clusters from the Tomsk region: "Forest, Timber Processing and Forestry Chemistry," "Non-Ferrous and Rare Earth Metals," and "Electronics and Unmanned Technologies," which brought together three Russian regions (the Tomsk Region, Moscow, and St. Petersburg) and 12 radio electronics enterprises, as well as one university - Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics.

It is planned to implement six high-tech import substitution projects.

Project 1 is the development of a universal autonomous robotic platform, "Unmanned Cabinless Minitractor", by Cognitive Company. The company plans to launch this platform. The platform has multiple applications, and Pulkovo Airport has previously expressed interest in purchasing it. In the near future, baggage in St. Petersburg will be transported using this platform.

Project 2 involves the development of the Mini MPS satellite communications system by the Mikran Company. This compact satellite station is designed as an alternative to larger central hubs and is intended to serve a limited number of subscribers, making it more cost-effective for smaller systems such as linear telemetry, particularly in remote areas. The system offers reliable data transmission, reduces telecommunications infrastructure costs, and can be installed directly in production facilities, shortening information transmission paths and enhancing communication security.

Project No. 3 is a communication system developed by the BAS, with the final manufacturer being the Lemz-T company based in Tomsk. This system provides radio communication between the ground control center and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Radar MMC is implementing three cluster projects. The first project involves the development of a satellite terminal with an on-board radio command line. The second project focuses on the integration of wireless broadband communication systems for various types of unmanned vehicles. The third project aims to produce airborne laser scanning modules, known as lidars.

Being unique, these products have no direct analogues in Russia. They are in high demand and will be produced by companies located within the special economic zone in Tomsk.

Minister Anton Alikhanov informed the meeting on planned state support measures for the cluster participants. These measures include tax benefits and access to a free customs regime for companies operating within the special economic zone.

The cluster's companies aim to produce competitive products and introduce innovative developments. These efforts will lead to the strengthening of Russia's technological independence and the creation of new high-technology jobs in the region.

The Tomsk cluster is more than just a group of 13 technology companies. It is an open ecosystem that brings together the best scientific and industrial expertise for the development of unmanned systems and high-tech components. This new model of collaboration allows for the rapid solution of critical challenges facing the country, ranging from ensuring transport and energy security to agricultural robotization.
