The client was the State Public Institution «Traffic Management Centre». The objective was to provide comprehensive monitoring of complex and accident-prone sections of road. Safety is now ensured by the ZALA T-16 vehicle-mounted systems, equipped with a unique on-board hardware and software suite IRRA. Artificial intelligence autonomously finds and identifies objects in real-time, scans the surroundings and immediately reacts to the slightest deviations, without overlooking a single metre of the road.

Reliable, interference-resistant communications and alternative navigation systems ensure the seamless operation of the ZALA T-16 even in challenging radio-electronic environments — where other solutions fall short, ZALA technologies continue to perform effectively.

Once again, ZALA’s high-tech solutions are being deployed in government operations, proving that the keen eye and lightning-fast intelligence of our unmanned systems are capable of ensuring safety, order and control on Russia’s major transport routes.

The flight took place in unified airspace with manned aircraft and without the introduction of temporary restriction regimes. For the entire 5-hour journey, the T-20 was under the control of an «external pilot» on the ground. It was used ZALA «GEOCOSMOS» sovereign communications and navigation system», which does not rely on satellite navigation and has an IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) function.

Throughout the entire route, the BVS ZALA maintained a stable link with air traffic controllers thanks to the use of the «ERA-GLONASS» system. This ensured continuous monitoring of the flight’s progress.

«No one in our country has ever undertaken a flight of this distance and under these conditions before. This is a significant milestone in the field of unmanned aviation. And it took place in the Sakhalin Region with the support of the regional government and on the initiative of Governor Valery Igorevich Limarenko. Throughout the entire route, the aircraft remained in contact and was monitored by the relevant airline and air traffic control services. »This is the latest development from ZALA, which is being tested here on Sakhalin,« commented Konstantin Sukhorebrik, CEO of Aurora Airlines.

How reports The Sakhalin Oblast government, after testing a new technology, plans to widely implement it in the island region and across the Far East to address national economic needs. There are 75 scenarios for the use of unmanned systems currently operational in Sakhalin Oblast. They are used to monitor forest fires and blockages in riverbeds, search for missing persons, combat illegal dumps, protect salmon spawning grounds, and inspect the condition of roads, roofs, and pipelines.

Two aircraft are involved in the operation. One is carrying out aerial monitoring of the area, the second – equipped with a loudspeaker – is reminding citizens of the need to observe safety measures. On-board IRRA hardware-software complex The artificial intelligence-based system allows for real-time autonomous monitoring of the environment and immediate response to potential fires. Integration with a digital platform ZALA 4Z1 This provides remote access to video streams and telemetry for specialists from various services involved in ensuring security in these areas. This approach not only allows for the rapid detection of fires but also their prevention at the prophylaxis stage, minimising the risk of large-scale fires.

For the quickest possible coverage of territories, two systems are used simultaneously. The ZALA mobile laboratory, mounted on a high-mobility vehicle, ensures efficient operation in field conditions. As noted by «Aurora-BAS» [Aurora-Unmanned Systems], the parallel use of two UAVs significantly speeds up data collection from remote areas. In addition, the T-16, built into the IRRA AI-based hardware-software complex In real-time, it identifies river congestion, monitors flooding and potential dry grass fires.

The ZALA T-16 is optimal for patrolling large areas in any weather conditions and at any time of day. It carries a wide range of payloads: HD cameras, thermal imagers, and photographic equipment. Its flight endurance exceeds four hours, and it surveys over 75 kilometres in a single sortie. This allows for prompt data acquisition from remote and hard-to-reach territories, which is particularly important during periods of high risk of floods and natural fires.

The presentation demonstrated the possibilities of site monitoring: ZALA T-16 is equipped with high quality optical and thermal imaging equipment, which allows round-the-clock monitoring of hard-to-reach areas. The key advantages of the complex are multi-hour broadcasting of high-resolution video and in-built artificial intelligence, which provides autonomous search and identification of objects. The UAV is capable of staying in the air for more than four hours and travelling over 75 kilometres from the launch point.

В the government of the Amur region noted the importance of implementing proven unmanned solutions to modernise infrastructure and improve the efficiency of various industries.

One of the centres of industry development is Sakhalin, where the infrastructure of the Pusisty droneport has been deployed. It is from here, from the local Flight Control Centre, that the company's specialists «Aurora-BAS.» conducted training flights to monitor forest fires using the ZALA T-16 unmanned aerial vehicle system. Equipped with high-quality optical and thermal imaging equipment, the UAV allows round-the-clock inspection of hard-to-reach areas and real-time detection of smoke and fire centres. The company's specialists note that the T-16 can cover up to 200 kilometres during a four-hour flight.

ZALA's forest fire detection technologies are already being actively used in practice: they are in service with forest guard services and divisions EMERCOM in many parts of the country.

Equipped with high-quality cameras and a thermal imager, the ZALA T-16 UAV allows for highly accurate determination of the size and direction of fractures. This data is critically important for forecasting ice conditions and preventing emergency situations—in Sakhalin, cases where fishermen on broken-off ice floes are swept out to the open sea are not uncommon.

As noted by the airline, the capabilities of the unmanned complex continue to impress. It is worth emphasizing that ZALA UAVs are already used by the region's rescue services for aviation monitoring, including ice and flood conditions.

ZALA UAVs have long proven themselves in the work of regional rescue teams. The Civil Defense and Emergencies Agency has been operating them since 2017, regularly using them for aerial monitoring of ice and flood conditions, searching for missing persons, and warning fishermen of the dangers of venturing onto thin ice.

This is a relatively new area for Aurora-BAS: the first ZALA T-16 system was acquired in late 2025. Currently, the airline's specialists are actively exploring its capabilities for solving various problems.

Participants in the training flights noted that ZALA's unmanned systems stand out not only for their innovative developments but also for their high reliability in real-world operating conditions. All tasks set during the event were completed in full and to a high standard.

Equipped with a thermal imager and high-resolution cameras, the ZALA T-16 is capable of detecting fires at an early stage. All data from the UAV is automatically tagged and transmitted to the ground control station, providing real-time access to the data. The system was delivered as part of contract, concluded between ZALA and Aurora-BAS in 2025.

«In 2026, as in previous years, it is planned to use unmanned aerial systems to protect forests from fires in the Sakhalin Region,» they noted. Agency for Forestry and Hunting of the Sakhalin Region following the results of the event.
