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.

Сообщение Инновационные решения ZALA на выставке HeliRussia 2026 появились сначала на ZALA — Беспилотные системы (БПЛА), беспилотные воздушные суда (БВС).

The participants were presented with the modernised T-16M aircraft-type unmanned complex. The unmanned aircraft has received new communication channels and is designed for prolonged monitoring of vast territories with complex wind conditions. Additionally, the aircraft is capable of stable operation in mountainous terrain.

The key novelty of the show also became ZALA universal ground-based robotic platform. The system has been developed to minimise risks to personnel when carrying out tasks in hard-to-reach and potentially hazardous areas. In its standard configuration, the NRTK ZALA maintains a stable connection over a range of up to 5 kilometres. When operating in conjunction with a UAV acting as an airborne relay, the reliable control range increases to 30 kilometres.

The equipment on display is the result of many years of close collaboration between ZALA and law enforcement agencies. The company is continuously developing its range of unmanned solutions, drawing on the real-world combat and operational experience of law enforcement units.

Staff from the Ministry of Emergency Situations praised the effectiveness of aerial monitoring using the ZALA UAV, noted the high quality of the equipment, which enabled a detailed survey of the area, and thanked the ZALA specialists for their cooperation. The data obtained will also be used to create orthophoto maps.

At the «Rosoboronexport» stand, an export version of the system — the «Lancet‑E» complex in full combat configuration — is being presented: the Z‑16E reconnaissance UAV and the «Izdelie 51E» and «Izdelie 52E» loitering munitions. On the first day of the exhibition, dozens of delegations, including representatives from Congo, Zimbabwe, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia and a number of other countries, got acquainted with the legendary complex, which has over 4,700 confirmed targets in the Special Military Operation zone, including expensive NATO equipment.

In addition, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs demonstrated at the forum unmanned aerial vehicles currently in service with the agency. On display was the ZALA T‑16 UAV, designed for the rapid collection and processing of spatial data. Key advantages of the ZALA systems include many hours of high‑definition real‑time video transmission and built‑in artificial intelligence for object search and identification. These functions enable law enforcement agencies to effectively monitor changes in the situation within a controlled area and respond promptly to emergencies. Anti‑jamming communication and alternative navigation ensure stable operation of the system even in complex electronic warfare environments.

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.

A key technological stage — the first ever remote control of an unmanned aerial vehicle in Antarctica from the territory of Russia. Operators from the Izhevsk Flight Control Center took control of the ZALA T-16, located thousands of kilometers away. Over-the-horizon communication and integration with the ZALA 4Z1x digital platform ensured the transmission of telemetry and high-definition video in real time. In remote mode, the complex conducted surveillance of hazardous areas and penguin colonies.

Another important achievement — aerial photography of a penguin colony on Kameny Island near the Mirny station. The area is closed to human visitation to preserve the penguin population. From an altitude of several hundred meters, without disturbing the birds, the ZALA T-16 created a detailed orthophotoplan of their habitat. The experience of the anniversary Russian Antarctic Expedition (RAE), commemorating the 70th anniversary of the first Soviet expeditions, confirmed the readiness of Russian UAVs for regular operations in the harshest regions of the planet.

A carefully laid out stone geoglyph measuring 7x18m is located near the village of Chiryashtamak and is perfectly visible from the air. Thus, the high resolution of cameras and the possibility of long-term monitoring make ZALA UAVs indispensable not only for industrial control but also for uncovering «human stories» encoded in the landscape.

It is worth remembering that earlier, T-16 operators, while monitoring a pipeline in Bashkiria, noticed A 70-metre word «Zhenya» planted with pine trees. The ZALA UAV's ability to recognise non-obvious objects has already been applied in serious science: with their help researched the geoglyphs on the Nazca plateau in Peru.

At the forefront of this movement is ZALA. The company's cumulative flight distance for civilian aerial complexes has reached a record 55 million km. This distance is equivalent to 1,375 laps around the Earth at the equator. This level of intensity is due to the technological evolution of its systems.

The key change in recent years has been the shift from video recording to autonomous data analysis directly on board. IRRA hardware and software complex allows UAVs to process video streams in real-time and detect deviations. In conditions of active electronic interference, the stability of the unmanned complex is ensured by protected communication and alternative navigation. In this case The flight duration has recently increased by 25%.

The ZALA software ecosystem also plays a significant role. Digital platform ZALA 4Z1 Provides flight data processing using artificial intelligence-based algorithms, integration of all operations and data transfer, uniting all parts of the complex into a single information network for effective monitoring tasks.

Many years of operation at the country's largest fuel and energy complex (FEC) facilities have confirmed the reliability of ZALA technologies, which have effectively become the industry standard. The Russian FEC, which services one of the longest energy infrastructures on the planet, confirms the significance of implementing unmanned systems and AI analytics for efficient operation over the vast distances of the world's largest country.
