A testing area for unmanned aerial systems will be created in Skolkovo. The Government of Moscow and the specialists of the Moscow Innovation Cluster will also take part in creating the area. On the territory covering 400 hectares, developers will be able to test solutions and scale business in the field of aviation technologies — from geodesy and cartography to transportation of goods and passengers. The area for the participants of the tests will have a flight altitude limit of 100 meters. Flights within this perimeter will be prohibited for other aircraft.

The specialists of the Urban Air Mobility Control Center will control the test area. Flights will be carried out from September 2022 under the regulatory sandbox framework. Both light and heavy drones, including those over 30 kilograms, will be tested.
