A project has been submitted to the State Duma that clarifies the capabilities of UAVs and unmanned vehicles

The Russian government has submitted a bill to the State Duma to expand the experimental legal regime in the field of digital innovation. In particular, the possibility of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles is being clarified. The document was published in the Duma electronic database.

“The requirements of the current aviation legislation are aimed at regulating manned aircraft and impose unrealizable requirements for some types of unmanned aircraft systems. Given the fundamentally new engineering design of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), there are currently no certification requirements that meet the modern type of UAVs in their variety, which is an obstacle to the development of the UAV market. In this regard, it is proposed to provide the possibility of applying certain provisions of the Air Code of the Russian Federation with certain features, ”the explanatory note says.

The document also notes that the current legislation on road safety does not allow the operation of cars without a driver. In addition, the requirements of the current experiment “on trial operation of highly automated vehicles on public roads” significantly limit the development of technologies for highly automated vehicles. The project proposes to apply a number of federal laws with certain peculiarities in order to provide an opportunity to conduct an experiment on the development of such technologies on the territory of Russia.

In addition, the provisions of the draft law affect medical activities, telecommunications, the provision of transport and logistics services and the organization of transport services, as well as the sale of goods, works and services remotely in the context of experimental legal regimes.
