The development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and systems in the world is one of the key industries with significant potential for further growth. Modern UAVs are not only an important element in military operations, but also play an increasingly important role in ensuring security and comfort for civilian purposes. The use of UAVs for monitoring infrastructure, environmental control, delivery of goods and services improves the quality of life and contributes to the development of urban infrastructure. An important component of success is the role of education and science, which provide training of highly qualified personnel and contribute to the development of the latest technologies. At the same time, the issue of certification is critical to ensuring safety, compliance with international standards and the possibility of entering new products into global markets.

Possible topics, but not limited to:

• perspective designs of UAVs;
• new materials for manufacturing UAV elements;
• construction of complex systems based on UAVs;
• areas of application of UAVs;
• certification of new equipment, etc.
