just a touch. hello and welcome to technology update this month we're in because it's the capital of the russian republic of the stone and a city of contrasts where religion same cultures from east and west collide but it's also the site where a thousand years of history are giving way to an upstart innovation based economy newcomers to cosign are sure to take a tour of the city's kremlin it's a unesco world heritage site with a breathtaking the array of minarets to get detail domes within a few hundred feet of each other increasingly though it's visitors may just be stopping off to see the sights while pursuing more serious business that was

certainly the mood last fall when a delegation of silicon valley entrepreneur met with the sun's top officials to discuss investment opportunities in the russian republic after a long trip from their familiar california confines their hosts were eager to point out that the necessary infrastructure was in place a shim if you leave us we're doing now is specializing we have him grad that will develop the petrochemical industry has i actually. specialize in information technology research and development flush we have a facility in the town as comes only with palomas will be reprocessed and we have specially designated zones for major high tech investment projects a look like much of russia touchstones economy is heavily dependent on industrial production accounting for nearly half of the regional g.d.p. within that segment traditional strong suits like mining metal works an oral refining remain the driving force behind the statistics there's a growing interest in modernization across all industries high tech is long played

a role in his ons economy but if i see part innovative industry has a shiny new home. for new fans. capitalists also came here to get down to brass tacks on why to understand was worthy of investor attention. russian international companies that have already enjoyed success in the republic made the case in painstaking detail to clear message that the stones economic tide is turning towards a new imposition on top technology. one of the most economically developed some regions of the russian federation but about sixty percent of. industrial structure comes from the petrochemical related industries and one of the main objectives of. the economy we are looking for investments is first of all we need so-called smart investments the investment in high tech. and in. the

name should imply some smart investment in the information technology sector has already found fertile ground within id card since our visit last october it's come alive with new tenants in for monaco's one new resin that already directly impacts the lives of to understand citizens most notably in a project they've realized for the republican government interested in the buzz around jihad ministration but still largely bogged down in traditional bureaucracy a step towards the solution the informant the kiosk for unified online state services. a series of street requirements for the infamous of ministre was a number of specific functions this includes a fool for printing a variety of payment services scanning and a video link up with a cool sensor. from the looks of it be in for much has a lot in common with the automated tellers that compound our cash or the electronic ya swear down thousands of russians pay their mobile phone or home internet bills

and on the whole that's a good thing users are quicker to adapt to familiar looking hardware but the key element it's a big. from out apart from its look alikes in previous generations are wired in its inner workings the government asked him for monica to incorporate become passe detained for signing up for apply for and receive confirmation of a wide range of services provided by an equally broad spectrum of state agencies each of these functions easy to software and hardware design. arranged by me at this point we don't know of any competitors that produce this kind of equipment with the same characteristics some of them have princes with tiny tracer example for holding only two hundred fifty sheets. others haven't included a video link with a cool sensor using a single lens reflex camera as a scanner. pates ensued solution. the camera allows for document scanning without the own we'll be cover other features right at your

fingertips you can read your bank cards bar codes and passports full size documents or cashiers receipts and take payment for everything from property tax to parking tickets myself. first award for a motor was developed where children are ingles in the current series six or so and she wound this later a full scale called model that's how he created you wish showed it to focus groups a group of voters opinions based on individual preferences said whether it was convenient or inconvenience and whether they like to have disliked it only after that did we switch over it's a myth to start making the real thing. we need go ahead was given informatica went to local design fabricators to help with much of the new hardware . the tiniest detail protective plates and siding panels have to be for sitting cars and welded from sheets of the desired metals and local workshops have valuable

experience in the arena of mass production metalworking. is an interesting example of how a new high technology solutions can support you can. to new growth of more traditional economic sectors. these in turn benefit from the call to compete for contracts to help the products in a buyer's market expecting higher standards. as a significant number of components involved in monitoring its own state including he never use. the tools. and other grommets is cheap. down the body of the evil mike terminals in proper shape and come to stand red white and green in for money to give down to the nuts and bolts of packing the kiosks full of the electronic communications equipment they need to do their many jobs each of the inputs needs to be suited to the central computer which they need to connection to the government payment network some of the solutions seem almost

too good to be true with hard drives printers and even the digital camera hardly different from the ones we have around our office but here simplicity is savings we're talking about the ease of supplying servicing and replacing components once they're in government buildings all over the republic. there is a wide range of different services are provided by these in from out machines the principle time supposed to provide appropriate access to the service to various state structures for example is cash based operations are carried out of the right door then only cash handling and security organizations should have access to it in this case their banks or some other specialized organization either on this side only people who change or seek roles in the receipt printer or service these machines will be given access to them and this could be tax collection agencies or some other organizations that have access to the register below this in a full consequently only organizations that service the tunnel should have access to it and even if this is also for opening servicing or taking out the camera in

the scanner here organizations that service the printer in this case change the contracts load the paper and generally ensure that the printer. operates normally we showed up at the state property registry to see the informatics in action we found them being used by a broad segment of citizens they may have come here for something specific but services related to other administrative divisions were also excessive all the queues are getting shorter because of the popularity of these machines and more people are starting to submit applications through the info mats so they don't have to come here two or three times but instead submit their applications where it's convenient for them they come to us only took time to finalize documents according to official figures for the first three months of two thousand and eleven in full my visits have more than tripled their handling nearly twice the volume of inquiries and more than four times the inflow of applications as people realize they could reserve other appointments at a kiosk that figure skyrocketed as did the number of payments made via in from out

of. that i t. park another company has attracted a crowd of potential foreign clients and investors to present their unique integration of the russian global not sat nav system with the software and communications complex they coordinates in commands to their stance emergency services i says. russian companies need to be creating in earning money on a regional intellectual property and with that in mind information technologies a sector intellectual property can turn into products pretty quickly becoming a good source of income that's part of the objective one one two pilot project based hearing because on with this satellite network in place they're developing and marketing a system to integrate and simple fi emergency dispatcher services one one two is the unified emergency phone number for the e.u. and now russia much like nine one one in north america or ninety nine in the u.k. these operators take those calls and direct urgent information to emergency workers

in the field whose locations they can track on maps generated by the glowing us sat nav system. versions the situations can strike almost anywhere and. any time and the response has to be ready time is precious and this is a major cut out steps by getting info straight to the service needed came creasing our first response capacity. to. this central cars on fire station agreed to show us how the new blueness one one two system is impacting their work and the effectiveness of the lifesaving services they provide. the control room is all computerized with the integration of locally developed sat nav and software producing interactive digital maps of emergency sites and units in the field we didn't want any buildings on fire to test them but the calls came in over the line. previously if we received

a message that the fire rescue line zero one about a road accident where people needed some kind of help we had to dial the police at zero two or the state road traffic inspectorate we answer dial a third number to call an ambulance so we had to carry out all three of these operations in turn now with a new unified one one two system the difference is that dispatchers fill out a single online form they write the address and what kind of help is needed and simultaneously dispatch this information to all services. russia's federal emergency situations ministry plans the future of such systems to look something like this traumatization transmitters in private cars will signal the call center that an accident has occurred if calls to the gloominess emergency phone and automobile are unsuccessful rescue teams are on the radar guided to the scene of the emergency by the same set of network rescuers cut down on time that's crucial to saving endangered lives it may seem a bit far fetched today but not for long transmitters like those being tested by

cars on emergency vehicles may be required on russian cars by twenty thirty one she was very interesting and important that separate regions have already long. projects both on their own initiative and in cooperation with the era global system we're creating. already started and the goals are basically the same that you will in future will combine our developments and experience to create the final product the republicans stan has accumulated considerable experience in this field just in the hope of grow not one one two in four months both came from preside he park but there's two more innovation centers in that city neighborhood and seven across the capital with focuses in different cake sectors to stun spreads around bianca's on to include several high tech investment zones in cities like nice new columns now british natural me and women gorst we are located in the sense of the most densely populated area for. every second season of the russian federation lives within one

thousand cologne to distance and today it's very important for the multi-national companies that because he is located in the center of the moon the cities because their main to months in russia stay concentrated in minutes it's human resources it's one of the chairs in terms of quality quantity and travel according to the surveys there were travel in the public with us on this about forty five percent of most or even less even lower which case investors the huge flexibility of attracting educating motivating people sixteen hundred new workplaces were created with the two thousand and ten to the opening of the massive two nickel refinery in these new cars its first stage of any wealth would have seven million tonnes of crude continues to advance tougher stance keeping troll name position petro chemical products like polyethylene and rubber pig and copper stone which tops forty percent of russia's productivity in both as well as roughly a third of the whole country's tires many of those tires go on to turn to stymie

trucks to total thirty percent of russia's output these are eager to durable commands workhorses from the british need show me where. trucks from the special economic zone because on helicopter factory pumps out choppers used around the world and that's just one part of the important aviation sector debts long been top flight entire stock increasingly modern aviation engineers are building specifically purpose machines propelled by programs or remote guidance systems essentially planes they need no pilot to control their flight path. drawing on over a half century of deviation no help is on socal experimental design bureau is making strides in this expanding. extern the tables from its first piloted engine list fighters in the sixty's to unpiloted aircraft today. which through the idea of using drones is flying targets is really quite obvious so you. has embraced so-called design has accumulated

a unique experience in this arena so since it was founded this enterprise is designed several generations of unpiloted flying target systems and each of these targets was used by russian armed services and it's time for. the most recent generation of so-called targets is called the company and it's designed to take off from a light mobile launcher for use almost anywhere in military testing in training they can flying groups about two for stay aloft for over an hour in range from fifty meters to roughly nine thousand meters in elevation the weapon systems are complicated and costly so they're fine tuning in functionality are worth the cost of flying targets but designing a whole arsenal of drone targets for different simulations is overkill so the dynamic is mention perform is the objective of many different in-flight exercises and the trends are in great demand not only for the air force but also in the n.t. and croft defense forces they need droids which have the capacity to serve as

molten weapons affectively imitating old kinds of mandate probably. only three hundred fifty kilograms the john m. is pretty light for any aircraft and that's an advantage in a field that values flexibility and ease of transport just mean so holes workers have had to develop lightweight electronics and control systems to maximize the flying targets maneuverability with a minimum of added mass to imitate various targets the dunham's engines can generate speeds from three hundred to seven hundred fifty kilometers per hour blasting it out of the sky is the only possible goal so it's equipped with a dual parachute recovery system which allows a single target drone to be used up to ten times it can be guided be a programmed auto pilot or from the remote control center all of these features undergo constant updates. a cheaper and more reliable line of control systems has been developed it has pulse old tests and days. braking successfully and edition and you also

a pilot system has been introduced which has significantly improved the quality of flags. flying targets are so tricky that only about one in every ten gets shot down. three feet is an exhibition stand for development and testing of navigation and control systems basically the eyes and brains of the drones we designed the ground based test complex consists of computers that control the flight dynamics of a model as well as performance monitoring equipment navigation and control system is exactly like the real thing now we're going to switch on this equipment. control actuators shows how the pilot system reacts to disturbances which we can create with the help of the rotary axis changing the pitch angle of the sensor units and the banking angle this is how we imitate in a cross angle in vertical and lateral plane we can judge whether the flight control

system is ready for operation but changes in the test parameters of the sensor substitution of miniature components in control systems has decreased the system's weight increase the speed of the aircraft increase the maximum fuel payload and the flight range accordingly this is a craft can withstand acceleration force of up to nine g. can nose dive and pitch up and sustain lateral acceleration forces sensually it's a flying robot. with all the smart stuff packed into the fuselage it's time to fold everything down. and see if the drone is up to snuff before it can put top weapon systems to the test done him has to undergo some pretty stringent testing of its own list of modern russian designed military hardware dynamics helped develop is nothing to mess with and includes fighter jets like the make twenty nine which is being delivered in a massive contract with india's navy. this suit thirty variation developed for the chinese air force and the s four hundred triumph of any aircraft system stu more on

pilot excitement lies ahead for so-called. future unpiloted ashcroft we plan to reach an entirely new technological level which will on the one hand and i wish to significantly raise the. providing a new generation of equipment that allows new hardware and programming solution. that. the so-called design bureau is planning to carve out a nice in the already crowded russian drone market will build an unpopulated multi-purpose aircraft weighing in at about one hundred kilograms so for its own blueprints behind closed doors we've given their past excess the picture looks good going forward in the soviet union kodak moments were brought to you by castro who made their film for petrochemicals right here at this because on factory today the same site is home to a brand new innovation chemical cluster called him that the so-called tech novelist

has resurrected over one hundred thirty here cares of mostly have been in brownfield in the place of one giant organization besides establishing a base of innovative small and medium sized petrochemical projects they could help jumpstart economic development across the republic the sun you suppose would have been here are several major petrochemical plants in charge are standing just as you support a considerable part of their products muslims we just the millions of us why we have seven objective to process at least thirty percent of polymers and the republicans who want it so the jobs taxes as the added value remain in the republican economy just do we just exist here at the high tech cluster we're creating the necessary conditions for a quick start so for companies that aim to do that kind of work the pleasure process polymers some of them in the necessary infrastructure has been created a company can count on preferential terms for moving in. premises in a module building like this one because it was fully meets all safety standards and

is fitted out with all modern technological infrastructure of the war if a company is already somewhat larger it can obtain a land allotment which requires utilities where it will be able to requisition facilities or install equipment suitable for its technology quickly and without any holdups the project was launched in two thousand and seven today we have a hundred eleven residents and more than four thousand new jobs we sent in a vicious goal to increase the number of companies operating him to at least two hundred with these companies we hope to create a total of ten thousand new jobs wolf as well as the full scope of this it is each of which is as of today just like shit factory within the huge complex is the production facility of the russian flexible packaging company down to fix if you've been in russia long enough to shop for your favorite condiments there's a good chance they're cracking faster film produced hearing because on to put all those products on supermarket shelves these lines compel kilometers of labeled plastic wrapping each day the item of the hour here is men ace massive rolls of

translucent polyethylene film are loaded through these machines with code simpler good safety being layered on progressively as the plastic passes the rollers the machinery is all about precision so that the red writing is exactly the right grid the egg yolks are exactly the right yellow and the vegetables they're natural great the reels finally finish samples are tested electronically who is sure the true color where does the plastic film come from in the first place. before so when the plastics extrusion process everything starts with granules these granules get trucked into special new matic lines through the hole and interaction has been extrude is the ground you get now to down then this melted material gets pulled into the special rotating johnny and then the film bubble goes up to twenty meters cooling slowly. after that it's pressed by a special collapsing frame and turned into what's called a lie. if not then this lay flat film comes back down there it's come to the

science amounted to rove's. brainlessness start the whole process are made of cali eslinger the world's most common plastics both clear and white wrinkles produce the corresponding color packaging materials in a clear great gulf that supplied on a fix for me right down the road a cousin or cynthia's russia's biggest polyethylene producer the equipment design is about cooling a plastic film with the desired decrease not just because a twenty meter plastic tornado looks amazing plastics extrusion can be performed by many different methods this is called blue film extrusion. the pressure of air balloon and the massive tube stretches it determining the dimensions of the film that will descend on the rolls it's the most efficient way of producing this kind of film but done to flex as new packaging materials in its sights. to recently reproduce mostly known barrier packaging based on the polyethylene and polyethylene tariff elements of a film like these for

a standard mayonnaise package so we produce beriah packaging based on the aluminum foil but foil is rather difficult to process and convert just by bringing it to you can see i bring who did a lot which processing it by machinery is even harder even worse this material is practically known recyclable as a result a project was started to produce thin film membrane instead of aluminum foil and wood in the project was established together with. through that project we produced the first membrane that has the same barrier actual buttes as aluminum foil by the of the with a number of additional advantages it's transparent which allows you to see the product inside because. this film is recyclable. so the new membrane will replace traditional foil in highbury or packaging all the same properties in a tiny fraction of the thickness. composite films are also on the menu for the donna flex ross national partnership. produce products ministration composite materials will go into the mr from extrusion creating stronger packaging at

a lower cost is reducing in the representatives made clear during the california delegations visit last october this project is just the tip of the sun's going to meet investment nice we should we believe the agreements we've signed with charter stop and works very well very reliably which in the doing we have projects funded the so-called clean tech sphere including alternative energy solar batteries fuel cells and a number of projects related to biotechnologies and all tickle components for telecommunications says behind the facade of traditional beauty design in the surrounding region is focusing on twenty first century functionality if you go to visit you just might catch a glimpse we've only just begun to scratch the surface of the sounds high tech potential we're out of time for this month in moscow sprawling personally we can go home to the russian capital knowing it's not the only capital of russian innovation join us for more on the next technology update until then enjoy the ride.
