ZALA’s innovative solutions at HeliRussia 2026
ZALA showcased upgraded versions and innovative solutions in the field of communications and navigation at the 19th International Exhibition of the Helicopter Industry and Unmanned Aerial Systems, HeliRussia 2026, in Moscow.
As exhibitors note, the Russian aviation industry is currently undergoing a major transformation, shifting from traditional aviation systems to unmanned technologies and digital control platforms utilising artificial intelligence. The focus of visitors to stand ZALA is on — The Sovereign New Generation Communication and Navigation System «GEOS COSMOS», developed for reliable operation under conditions of suppression of traditional data transmission channels.
«Artificial intelligence forms the basis of this system to ensure security, channel encryption and communication reliability. And we have specifically created this version to develop the national economy of the Russian Federation as a sovereign communications and navigation system is being established,» a ZALA representative told NTV journalists.
At HeliRussia, ZALA also unveiled updated versions of its most sought-after systems for rapid, high-quality aerial monitoring of extensive sites — the ZALA T-16 and ZALA T-20. The UAV’s flight time has been increased by 35–40%, and the resolution of aerial photography has risen from 30–40 megapixels to 60. The key difference in the latest models is the integration of the IRRA on-board software and hardware complex, based on artificial intelligence, for autonomous search and identification of objects. This solution has significantly improved the accuracy of anomaly detection and data processing speed.
