must act only according to its mandate is currently in moscow for talks. clause to russia's war on terror in the caucasus claims a high profile targets for security forces killing militants it's believed he was involved in most of the recent atrocities in the contrary. i'll have more on those stories in about thirty minutes time but for now it's a time for nicoletti to pick out the innovation gems in russia's developing high tech sector this month technology update takes you to russia's republic of got a star and looks at how locals are using the past to move forward added to the future that's next here on r t if you stay with us.
9:32 am
hello and welcome to technology update this month we're in cuz it's the capital of the russian republic of stone and the city of contrasts where religions and 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 array of minarets and good people 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 touchstones 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 or shim a deal if yes we're doing now is specializing we have been bred that will develop

the petrochemical industry he has a right to. specialize in information technology research and development flush we have a facility in the town of comes only when polis will be reprocessed and we have specially designated zones for major high taken vestment projects are looking like much of russia to the stans 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 and oil refining remain the driving force behind the statistics there's a growing interest in modernization across all industries high tech has long played a role in cars on's economy but it i'd say apart innovative industry has a shiny new home. to california venture capitalists also came here to get down to brass tacks on why to the first time was worthy of investor attention. russian and international companies that have already enjoyed success in the republic made the
9:34 am
case in painstaking detail to clear message to fit in. stunts economic tide is turning towards a new increases on top technology. we one of the most economically regions of the russian federation it's about sixty percent of. industrial structure comes from the. petrochemical related industries and one of the main main objectives of. the economy we are looking for investments but first of all we need so-called smart investments so the investment in high tech. and and. business name should imply some smart investment in the information technology sector has already found fertile ground within an id card since our visit last october it's come alive with new tenants in for monaco's one new resident that already directly impacts the lives of the first on citizens most notably in a project they've realized for the republic's government interested in the buzz

around you administration but still largely bogged down in traditional bureaucracy a step towards the solution the in for much for unified online state services. the customer set out a series of strict requirements for the infamous of ministre once a number of specific functions this includes a fool for money printing a variety of payment services documents scanning and a video link up with the cool sensor. from the looks of it taken from much has a lot in common with the automated tellers that compound our cash or the electronic jasa where 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 in from out apart from its look alikes in previous generations are wired in its inner workings the government asked him for monica to incorporate the capacity to pay for sign up for apply for and receive confirmation of
9:36 am
a wide range of services provided by an equally broad spectrum of state game. each of these functions needs its few software and hardware design. 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 trays for example holding only two hundred fifty sheets. this haven't included a video link with the cool sensor using a single lens reflex camera as a scanner. pates inside solution over. the camera allows for doctor and scanning without the only we'll be cover other features right at your fingertips if you 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 westfield's angle's an ergonomic current series six or four

and she won't display to a full scale called model how to recreate if you wish it's a focus groups a group of the participants based on individual preferences said whether it was convenient or inconvenience and whether they like to just like only after that did we switch i would say meant to start making the real thing on the. night go ahead was given informatica went to a local design fabricators to help with much of the new hardware. tiniest detail protective plates and siding panels have to be perceived in color 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 the continued growth of more traditional economic centers. these in turn benefit from the call to compete for contracts to help with products in a buyer's market expecting higher standards. as

a significant. components involved in monitoring its own states including he never consumption rates the tools. and other parameters is. down the body of the people might terminals in proper shape in terms of stun red white and green for money he gets 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 seen to up to the central computer which they need to connection speaking a government payment network some of the solutions seem almost too good to be true with hard drives printers and given the digital camera hardly different from the ones we have around the 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 provided by these in from out machines the
9:39 am
principle task was to provide appropriate access to the service to them not for various site 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 or in this case banks or some other specialized organization. over on this side only people who change receipt 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 load isn't a full colonel consequently only organizations that service the terminal should have access to it 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 contradiction 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 accessible. do you
9:40 am
think it. sure because of the popularity of these machines. talking to submitted 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 pains to finalize documents before going to official figures for the first three months of two thousand and eleven informant visits of more than tripled their handling nearly twice the volume of the increase and more than four times the inflow of applications as people realized they could reserve other appointments if she asked that figure skyrocketed as did the number of payments made via in from out. that i keep car going to other company has attracted a crowd of potential foreign clients and investors to present their unique integration of the russian glow not sat nav system with the software and communications complex they coordinating commands to their stance emergency services but i think. russian companies need to be creating in earning money on
9:41 am
a regional intellectual property and with that in mind information technology is a sector in selection of probate so you can turn into products pretty quickly becoming a good source of income that's part of the object with the glowing us 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 simplify 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 their version information to emergency workers in the field whose locations they can track on maps generated by the glowing aside from system. emergency situations can strike almost anywhere at any time and the response has to be ready time is precious and this is to mange to cut out steps by getting info straight to the service needed increasing our first response capacity.
9:42 am
this central cars on fire station agreed to show us how the new bonus one one two system is impacting your work and the effectiveness of the lifesaving services they provide. the control room is all computerized with the integration of locally develop 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 with the calls came in nevertheless. just the 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 and special we had to 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
9:43 am
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 it calls to the gloominess emergency phone an automobile aren't successful rescue teams are on the ready guided to the scene of the emergency by the same set of network rescuers cut down on time it'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 launched projects both on their own initiative and in cooperation with the arab world in a system where creating. already started and the goals of basically the same future will combine our developments and experience to create the final product the
9:44 am
republic of touch our stunt. has accumulated considerable experience in this field it's just an open with the glow not one one to inform us both came from because on site the park but there's two more innovation centers in that city neighborhood and seven across the capital with focuses in different sectors of the stone spread out beyond design to include several high tech investment zones in cities like nice new columns now additionally show me and live in of course it's in the most densely populated area from. every second of the russian federation lives within one thousand to distance and today it's very important for the multinational companies that's located in the center of the. main to months in russia they concentrated in minnesota human resources he's one of the. terms of quality
9:45 am
and. according to the. level of the sun is about forty five percent of even less. which case invest huge flexibility as you case in motivating people sixteen hundred new workplaces were created with the two thousand and ten opening of the massive to echo refinery in the new cops it's first stage anyone else put up seven million tons of crude continues to advance tougher stance keep control in position petrochemical products like polyethylene and rubber begin to understand which cost forty percent of russia's productivity and both as well as roughly a third of the whole country's tires many of those tires go on to test on me trucks to total thirty percent of russia's output these are either durable come ons workhorses from the vision that show me four feet on trucks from the labile do 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 that's long been top flight in time stock increasingly modern aviation engineers are building
9:46 am
specifically. purpose machines propelled by programs are remote guidance systems essentially planes that need no pilot to control their flight path. droning on over a half century of aviation no help is on socal experimental design bureau is making strides in the six pm eastern the tables from its first piloted engine list fighters in the sixty's unpiloted aircraft today. which threw the idea of using drones as flying targets is really quite obvious so you missed. has embraced so-called design bureau 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 most recent generation of so-called targets is called done and it's designed to take off from
9:47 am
a light mobile launcher for use almost anywhere in military testing in training they can flying groups of up to four stay aloft for over an hour and range from fifty meters to roughly nine thousand meters in elevation weapon systems are complicated and costly so there finds you name 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 meant to perform is the objective of many different in-flight exercises and the drones are in great demand not only for the air force but also in the n.t. at grove to find schools this they need tritons which have the capacity to serve as most weapons or defectively imitating old kinds of mandate. is only three hundred fifty kilograms the done m. is pretty light for any aircraft and that's an advantage in the field of values flexibility and ease of transport it just means so holes workers have had to develop lightweight electronics and control systems to maximize the flying targets
9:48 am
maneuverability with a minimum of bad 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 a quick put the do 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. and cheaper and more reliable line of control systems has been developed it has pulse all the tests and it is. rating successfully in addition and you also a pilot system has been introduced which has significantly improved the quality of flight. so who's flying targets are so tricky they'd only about one in every ten gets shot down. an exhibition stand for development and testing of navigation and control
9:49 am
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. and control system installed here 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 and pull of the sensor units and the banking angle this is how we imitate in a cross angle in vertical. we can judge whether the flight control system is ready for operation but changes in the test parameters of the sensor the substitution of miniature components in control systems decrease the systems weight increase the speed of the aircraft increase the maximum fuel payload and the flight range accordingly this is a craft can withstand exhilaration force of up to nine g. can nose dive and pitch up and sustain lateral acceleration forces sensually it's
9:50 am
a flying rubber. with all the smart stuff packed into the fuselage it's time to fold everything down. and see it. before you can put top weapon systems to test it 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 includes fighter jets like the me 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. when you. piloted aircraft we plan to reach an entirely new technological level bush will own the one hand and i was to significantly raise the end of the tail end. providing
9:51 am
a new generation of equipment to that allows new hardware and programming solutions . 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 far it's all blueprints behind closed doors when given their past excess the picture looks good going forward in the soviet union kodak moments were brought to you by house rock who made their film professor chemical right here it is because on factory today to fame site it's home to a brand new innovation chemical cluster called him that the so-called tech novelist has resurrected over one hundred thirty had pairs of mostly had been in brownfield in the place of one giant organization decide is establishing a base of innovative small and medium sized petrochemical projects they could help jumpstart economic development across the republic was the new supposed to be here
9:52 am
are several major petrochemical plants and cars are stunning just as he scored a considerable part of their products most is the weakest one of the that's why we have seven objective to process at least thirty percent of polymers and the republicans who want to get to the jobs taxes and the added value remain in the republican economy just disappear at the hume grass high tech closer we're creating the necessary conditions for a quick start up for companies the aim to do the kind of work the plan to process polymers the most of this is their infrastructure has been created by a company can count on preferential terms for moving in. premises in a module building like this one which fully meets all safety standards and is fitted out with all modern technological infrastructure to work if a company is already somewhat larger it can obtain a land allotment which requires utilities where is will be able to erect production facilities or install equipment suitable for its technology quickly and without any hold ups the project was lonesome two thousand and seven today we have
9:53 am
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 ones that will solve a disease each of which is as of today a deflection factory within the huge complex is the production facility of the russian flexible packaging company gonna fix if you've been in russia long enough to shop for your favorite condiments there's a good chance they're backing plastic film produced hearing because on to put all those products on supermarket shelves these lines pump out kilometers of labeled plastic wrapping each day the item of the hour here is minis massive rules of translucent polyethylene film are loaded through these machines with coats of clued safety layered on progressively as the plastic passes the rollers the machinery is all about perception 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
9:54 am
reels finally finish samples are tested electronically to assure the true colors where does the plastic film come from in the first place. before throwing in the plastics extrusion process everything starts with granules these granules get trucked into special pneumatic lines through the hole and interaction in exchange is the granules get mail to down then this melted material gets pulled into the special rotating die and then the film bubble goes up to twenty meters cooling slowly. after that it's pressed by a special collapsing frighten and turned into what's called a lay. if not if then this life not film comes back down there it gets cut to the sides and wound into robes on the. granules that start the whole process are made of kali actually the world's most common plastic clear and white wrinkles produce the corresponding color of packaging material in a clear great meals that supplied on a fix or maybe right down the road a cousin or scientist russia's biggest polyester producer the equipment design is
9:55 am
about cooling a plastic film with the desired thickness not just because a twenty meter plastic tornado looks amazing plastics extrusion can be performed by many different methods this is called blue film it's true the volume and pressure of the 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 down the flex has new packaging materials in its sights. too recently we've produced mostly known barrier packaging based on the polyethylene and polyethylene terrified little like these for a standard mayonnaise package so we produce beria packaging based on a leave them for oil bubble but foil is rather difficult to process and converts just by bringing it to you can see our green who did a lot of woods processing it by machinery is even harder even worse this material is practically known recyclable as a result of projects was started to produce thin film membrane instead of aluminum
9:56 am
foil in the project was established together with. through the project we produced the first membrane that has the same barry an attribute says aluminum foil body of the with a number of additional advantages it's transparent which allows you to see the product inside because the most small 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 down effects rossano partnership. produce products ministry composite materials will go into the mixture from extrusion creating stronger packaging at a lower cost as russian in a 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 play if we believe the agreement we signed with works very well very reliably which in the doing we have projects transit the so-called clean tech sphere including
9:57 am
alternative energy solar batteries fuel cells and a number of projects related to biotechnologies and offical components for telecommunications. behind the facade of traditional beauty because on the surrounding region is focusing on twenty first century functionality if you go to visit you just might change your lives we've only just begun to scratch the surface of the sun's high tech potential but we're out of time for this month in moscow scrawling fortunately we can go home to the russian capital knowing it's not the only topic all russian innovation join us for more on the next technology update and until then enjoy the right.
