EMERCOM practises the use of ZALA ZARYA BAS in the NWFD of the Russian Federation

Rescue units of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations in the North-West Federal District started active training in the use of the new ZALA ZARYA unmanned aerial systems. Training flights took place on the shores of Lake Ladoga in the Leningrad region with the support of ZALA instructors. The key feature of the exercise was the adaptation of UAS use to the difficult climatic conditions of the region. ZARYA unmanned aerial systems, specially developed for the tasks of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, are a universal tool for round-the-clock air monitoring. In the regions of the North-Western Federal District, rescuers regularly have to work in conditions of strong winds and high humidity typical of seaside territories, conducting search operations in vast forest areas and water areas.

ZALA ZARYA is equipped with high-quality optical equipment and integrated into a single ZALA software loop, enabling real-time on-board image transmission over 50 kilometres away. The system also uses artificial intelligence algorithms for automatic data processing, which significantly speeds up design decisions in emergency conditions. Alternative navigation systems allow ZALA ZARYA aircraft to operate reliably in the absence of satellite communications.

Since the end of 2024, ZALA ZARYA-1 and ZARYA-1M systems have been used by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations and have already been delivered to more than 60 cities in the country. Successful tests in various natural and climatic zones confirm their high efficiency and potential to improve the efficiency and safety of rescue operations.
