Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies (KRET) has developed and is mastering production of state-of-the-art motors for unmanned aerial vehicles. The first pilot batch is already undergoing the factory test. The products are made from only domestic components.
The UAV motors have been created at Ulan-Ude Instrument-Making Production Association. Production of brushless, synchronous and stepper motors and generators will be a new manufacturing area based on the capacities and specific competences of the factory.
KRET motors have lower weight with higher efficiency compared with foreign counterparts making it possible to mount more additional attachments on the drone. The design features also facilitate motor durability.
“Currently, production of four types of motors named after Baikal winds has been developed and is being implemented: Sarma, Hius, Barguzin and Kultuk. Each of them differs in several parameters, including power. Thus, for example, Sarma motor ensures the flight of a drone weighing up to 11 kg. The company’s competences make it possible to create motors not only for aircraft, but also for servo drives. The new production process will contribute to the national technological sovereignty and import independence,” said Vladimir Luchnikov, General Director of U-UPPO.
