Under the updated Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Agriculture for 2017–2030, approved by Decree No. 395 of the Government of the Russian Federation on March 27, 2025 special emphasis is placed on advancing domestic agricultural machinery and equipment. A key initiative within the corresponding sub-program is the creation and deployment of innovative technical solutions designed to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and technological sovereignty of the agro-industrial complex. In this context, the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into the broader system of agricultural machinery is emerging as a critical strategy for reducing import dependence and elevating the technological capacity of the agricultural sector. The present work is focused on establishing a methodological framework for this integration, founded on the principles of systemic mechanization, modularity, energy efficiency, and digitalization – all of which are fully aligned with the goals and implementation mechanisms of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program.
