Oleg Devyataev is chief specialist of the Center for Ice and Hydrometeorological Information of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute. Arctic UAVs created in Russia can replace helicopters, which are now often used from icebreakers to collect navigation data.
Key task that is being solved today is the expansion of the domestic satellite constellation for remote sensing of the Earth. This is necessary for more effective development of Arctic, the scientist explained. The Arktika-M satellite constellation was launched in 2021, and the second in December 2023.
