Youth Engineering Teams Will Demonstrate Their Solutions in the Field of UAS to Industrial Partners

Following the results of the open selection, Samara University became one of the winners in the Federal Project “Personnel for Unmanned Aviation Systems,” in the project “Youth Engineering Programs.”

In September, three student youth teams from the University will demonstrate their engineering solutions to industrial partners. So, guided by mentors from Samara University, students of the Institute of Aviation and Rocket and Space Technology and the Institute of Engines and Power Plants Engineering spent two months developing solutions for the companies “Agrodinamika” LLC, “Akvatoria” LLC and “Transport Budushchego Samara” LLC. The proposed solutions include:

·         developing a centrifugal nozzle with mainly import-substitutable components;

·         creating an ELRS reverse telemetry antenna tracker for ultra-long-range flights, using directional antennas with a narrow radiation pattern and high gain coefficient;

·         developing the system for measuring the level of solution in the tank of the UAV used for pollinating crops.

7 more youth engineering teams of Samara University start working on engineering tasks set by industrial partners of the UAS industry in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Samara, Tolyatti and Chelyabinsk. So, in 2024, two student teams successfully solved the task set by “Akvatoria” LLC. They worked on creating a telescopic antenna for UAV control channels and, after the project completion, successfully continue interacting with the customer, for refining and integrating the proposed solutions.

For reference:

Samara University has been a provider in the Federal Project “Personnel for Unmanned Aviation Systems” since 2024. In 2024, over 500 students were trained under 16 educational programs in 13 regions of Russia. At present, more than 300 trainees are studying, among them employees of agencies, such as Rossleskhoz, Rosrybolovstvo, Rosaviation, Rosprirodnadzor.
