Russia’s Almaz-Antey Group develops automated air traffic protection system
Russia's Almaz-Antey Group has announced the development of an automated airspace management system capable of withstanding complex cyberattacks, along with specialized droneports for UAV interceptors. The company also reported commissioning new air traffic control equipment and progress on UAV flight monitoring systems.
Russia's Almaz-Antey Group has announced the development of an automated airspace management system designed to withstand cyberattacks, according to statements made by company deputy CEO Dmitry Savitsky in a series of interviews with TASS. The announcement covers a range of initiatives, from drone interception technologies to air traffic control equipment, and includes claims of resilience and technical capability.
Coverage Comparison
All information comes directly from TASS interviews with Dmitry Savitsky, deputy CEO for air navigation systems and dual-use products at Almaz-Aantey. While no independent verification was cited for most claims, the statements cover several key areas of the company's work in air traffic management and drone defense.
Key Claims
Airspace Management System: Savitsky claimed the company's airspace management system has not experienced a single disruption due to cyberattacks, with the information security subsystem successfully repelling all attacks, including complex ones.
Multifunctional Information Protection System: A new system for air traffic control facilities is being integrated into automated control systems, capable of repelling complex cyberattacks.
Droneports for UAV Interceptors: Specialized facilities have been developed for deploying UAV interceptors, automating launch, landing, and maintenance to reduce response times and improve efficiency.
UAV Flight Monitoring: The company is working on a system for monitoring and tracking civilian UAV flights, with key technical solutions already trialed.
Air Traffic Control Equipment: Almaz-Antey commissioned four automation complexes and 48 units of flight radio equipment last year, according to Savitsky.
Global Leadership: Savitsky said Russia is a "global leader" in coordinating air traffic control with air defense systems, a claim made without providing specific comparative data.
Global Demand: Savitsky said there is sustained high demand for Almaz-Antey's air navigation systems, particularly from countries in Central Asia and other partner nations.
Perspectives
While these statements outline a broad portfolio of aviation and defense technologies, independent verification is lacking, and the claims appear exclusively in Russian state-aligned media reports. Western analysts have noted that such announcements also aim to project strength in the military-industrial sphere.
Geopolitical analysts suggest that the emphasis on cybersecurity and drone defense reflects growing concerns about infrastructure resilience in contested airspace. The international response to these developments remains to be seen, with no comments yet from foreign aviation authorities or security experts on the specific claims made by the company.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
