economic diversification drilling industry pushes for tomorrow's pretzel chemical products traditionally the actions of the focus is on the playing field of. government security. by going online to understand it's all sort of russian innovation on technology update we've got the future coverage. this is the r t news channel from moscow kevin zero in thank you for being with us tonight these are our top stories the nato led coalition of grades its assault on colonel gadhafi to try and change the course of the libyan civil war which washington says moving toward stalemate interventions have little success so far but the human cost and financial prospects skyrockets american unmanned predator drone for the latest addition to nato is libyan arsenal but they bring with them a reputation for killing civilians in afghanistan and pakistan. the kremlin and the
1:31 pm
un secretary general take a firm stance on libya saying the coalition was back only according to its mandate and can move currently in moscow for talks. plus russia's war on terror in the caucasus played a high profile target on for security forces kill a top al qaeda militant it's believed he was involved most of the recent atrocities in the country. more of those stories in thirty minutes time for you but next it's time for ati's nick levy to pick out the latest innovation gems in russia's developing high tech sector this month technology update program takes you then to russia's republic of tatarstan and look at how locals they're using the past forward into the future.
1:32 pm
hello and welcome to technology update this month we're in because it's the capital of the russian republic of the stone and the city of contrasts where religion same culture is 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 its work to cities kremlin it's a unesco world heritage site with a breathtaking array of minarets a good deal 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 entrepreneurs met with the stones top officials to discuss investment opportunities in the russian republic after a long trip from their familiar california compounds their hosts were eager to point out that the necessary infrastructure was in place a shipment deal if yes we're doing now is specializing we have grad that will
1:33 pm
develop the petrochemical industry has. specialized in information technology research and development plus we have a facility in the town of comes with pollen as will be reprocessed and we have specially designated zones for major high tech investment 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 metalwork senate 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 the qana me but it part innovative industry has a shiny new home. to california fans. capitalist also came here to get down to brass tacks on why the first time was worthy of him best or attention. russian international companies that have already enjoyed success in the republic make the case in painstaking detail the clear message of the stunts economic tide is turning
1:34 pm
towards a new imposition on top technology. one of the most economical regions of the russian federation sixty percent of. industrial structure comes from the. economic. base and one of the main ideas one of the main objectives of. the economy. looking for investment. investments so the investment in high tech. and. the name should imply some smart investment in the information technology sector has already found fertile ground within the id card since our visit last october it's come alive with a new chance for monaco's one to rest in bed already directly impacts the lives of to understand citizens notably in a project they realize for the republic's government interested in the buzz around
1:35 pm
the administration but still largely bogged down in traditional bureaucracy a step towards the solution in for much for unified online state services. a series of strict requirements for the new financial from initially was a number of specific functions this includes a fool for printing a variety of payment services scanning and a video link up with the cool sensor and from the looks of it they came from much has a lot in common with the automated tellers that pump out our cash or the electronic she asks where thousands of russians pay their mobile phone or home internet bills and on the whole that's a good thing jews are quicker to adapt to familiar looking hardware but the key element it's a big. in from out apart from its look alikes in previous generations are wired in its inner workings the government asking for markets to incorporate the capacity to pay for signing up for apply for and receive confirmation of a wide range of services provided by an equally broad spectrum of state agencies
1:36 pm
each of these functions needs it's a whole new software and hardware design. at this point we don't know of any competitors that produce this kind of equipment with the same currency risk sticks some of them have princes' with tiny trace for example holding only two hundred fifty shades. others haven't included a video link with a cool sensor using a single lens reflex camera as a scanner. pates inside solution. the camera allows for documents came in 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. for the first award for a no two was developed westfield angles an ergonomic current serious six or four and she and this later
1:37 pm
a full scale called model that's what he creates is your wish and it's your focus groups group post his opinions based on individual preferences said whether it was convenience or inconvenience and whether they like tilt disliked it only after that did we switch over to the missile and start making the real thing. the next go ahead was given informatica went to 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. it's an interesting example of how a new high technology solutions can support they can. teemu 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
1:38 pm
a significant number of components involved in monitoring its own state including he levels of consumption rates the tools. and other. down the body of the informant terminals in proper shape and toughest on red white and green informatic 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 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 differing 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. or the wide range of different services provided by these interim up machines the principle time was to provide appropriate
1:39 pm
access to the service to various state structures for example if 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 receipt roles in the receipt printer or service these machines will be given access to them this could be tax collection agencies or some other organizations that have access to the register below there's an eyeful printer 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 contracts load the pipe and generally ensure that the printer. operates normally we showed up at the state property registry to see the informatics 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. q.
1:40 pm
said getting shorter because of the popularity of these machines why more people are starting to submit applications through the info 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 fifteen to finalize documents according to official figures for the first three months of two thousand and eleven in vermont visits of more than tripled their handling nearly twice the volume of the inquiries and more than four times the inflow of applications as people realize they could reserve other appointments if it she asked that figure skyrocketed as did the number of payments made to inform us. that i t. park another company has attracted a crowd of potential foreign clients and investors to present their unique integration of the russian glaum not sat nav system with the software communications complex they coordinates in commands to the response emergency services prices by the russian companies need to be creating in earning money on
1:41 pm
a regional intellectual property and with that in mind information technology is a sector in selection but so you can turn into products pretty quickly becoming a good source of income that's part of the objective with the glowing us one one two pilot project based hearing because on 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 new 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 us sat nav system. and see situations can strike almost anywhere and. any time and the response has to be ready time is precious and this is to make change to cut out steps by getting him from the street to the service medium increasing our first response capacity. to.
1:42 pm
this central design fire station agreed to show us how the new blueness one one two system is impacting their work and 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 but the calls came in over the lives. of the asli if we received a message that the fire rescue line zero one about a road accident people needed some kind of help we had to dial the police had zero two or the state road traffic inspection we had to dial a third number to call an ambulance so we have to carry out all three of these operations in turn now with a new unified one month to system the difference is that dispatchers fill out a single online form they write the address and what kind of help is needed and
1:43 pm
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 glowing us emergency phone in the automobile are unsuccessful rescue teams are on the ready to the scene of the emergency by the same set of network rescuers cut down on time is 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 going to a system we're creating live already started and the goals are basically the same but usually the future will combine our developments and experience to create the
1:44 pm
final product the republic of congo stan has accumulated considerable experience in this field. with the glow not one one to inform much of both came from because anxiety part but there's two more innovation centers in that city neighborhood and seven across the capital with focuses in different cake sectors the stone spreads out beyond design to include several high tech investments owns in cities like mission accomplished now wish me show me and limb of course we are located in the sense of the most densely populated area for. every second citizen of the russian federation lives within one thousand kilometer distance and today it's very important for the multinational companies that's located in the center of the city circle because their maintenance in russia they concentrated in minnesota human resources is one of the seven funds for us in terms of quality quantity and where travel according to the service level with us on this is about forty five
1:45 pm
percent of even less even lower which case investors the flexibility of the taxing educating motivating their people sixteen hundred new workplaces were created with the two thousand and ten opening of the massive two nickel refinery in the new cars its first teacher a new well put of seven million tonnes of crude continues to advance tougher stance keep petroleum positioned petrochemical products like polyethylene and rubber big interest on which tops 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 temper stun me trucks to total thirty percent of russia's output these are either durable come ons were courses from the opposition you show me where. trucks from the a lot of this special economic zone. because on helicopter factory pumps choppers used around the world and that's just one part of the important aviation sector that's long been top flight in time to stop increasingly modern aviation engineers
1:46 pm
are building specifically purpose machines propelled by crew grams or remote guidance systems essentially planes they need no pilot to control their flight path . drawing on over a half century of aviation know how close on socal experimental design bureau is making strides in this expanding arena next turn the tables from its first piloted engine list fighters in the sixty's unpiloted aircraft today. which to the idea of using drones as flying targets is really quite obvious so you. he 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 even the. most recent generation of so-called targets is called done and it's designed to take off from a light mobile launcher for use almost anywhere in military testing in training
1:47 pm
they can flying groups of up to four 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 performance the objective of many different in-flight exercises and opposing trends erring great at the moment not only for the air force but also in the anti aircraft defense troll assist they need tritons which have the capacity to serve as molten weapons are effectively imitating old kinds of man day. only three hundred fifty kilograms the done m. is pretty light for any aircraft and that's an advantage in a field that values flexibility and ease of transport just means circles workers have had to develop lightweight electronics and control systems to maximize the flying targets maneuverability with
1:48 pm
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 isn't 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 is. braking successfully and addition and you also a pilot system has been introduced which has significantly improved the quality of flight was. flying targets are so tricky it only about one in every ten gets shot down. three stages an exhibition of development and testing of navigation and control systems
1:49 pm
that are basically the 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 and 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 a rotary axis changing the pitch angle of the sensor and the banking angle this is how we imitated a cross angle. we can judge whether the flight control system is ready for operation but changes in the test parameters of the sensor units 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 cruft can withstand acceleration force of up to nine j. can nosedive pitch up and sustain lateral acceleration forces sensually it's
1:50 pm
a flying robot. with all the smart stuff packed into the fuselage it's time to fold everything down. and see it. before it can put top weapon systems to the test they done him has to undergo some pretty stringent testing of its own list of modern russian designed military hardware the dynamics helped develop is nothing to mess with and 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 sokol. future unpiloted aircraft we plan to reach an entirely new technological level which will on the one hand and i was to significantly raise the tail end.
1:51 pm
providing a new generation of equipment that allows new hardware and programming solution. the so-called design bureau is planning to carve out a nice in the already crowded russian drone market they'll build an unpiloted multi-purpose aircraft weighing in at about one hundred kilograms so far it's all blueprints behind closed doors but 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 professor chemical right here at this because on factory today the famed 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 again in brownfield 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 was the new photos would have
1:52 pm
been here are several major petrochemical plants in charge are standing just as the stores are 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 in the republicans who did so the jobs taxes as the added value remain in the republican economy just we did exist here at the high tech cluster we're creating the necessary conditions for a quick start up for companies the aim to do that kind of work at 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 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 it will be able to record ocean facilities or install equipment suitable for its technology quickly and without any hold ups the project was lost in two thousand and seven today we have a hundred eleven residents and more than four thousand new jobs we sent in
1:53 pm
a vicious go 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 wolfman's the disease each of which is as of today deflation factory within the human 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 grappling plastic film produced hearing designed 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 minnie's massive rules 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 brain the egg jolts are exactly the right yellow and the vegetables they're natural. the reels finally finish samples are tested electronically to assure the true colors
1:54 pm
we're just a plastic film come from in the first place. before it's there with the plastics extrusion process everything starts with granules these granules get trucked into special you matic lines through the hole and into extrude has been extrude is the granules it melted down and then this melted material gets pulled into the special rotating tony 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 lay. class in this life that film comes back down there it gets cut to the sides and wound into robes on the. brain rules that start the whole process are made of kali s.l.e. the world's most common plastic clear and white wrinkles produce the corresponding color of packaging materials in the clear great meals that supplied on a fixed army right down the road a cousin or synthesis russia's biggest polyethylene producer the equipment design
1:55 pm
is about cooling a plastic film with the desired thickness not just because a twenty metre plastic tornado looks amazing plastics extrusion can be performed by many different methods this is called gloom film extrusion volume and pressure of air balloon and the massive stretches in 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 don't flex has new packaging materials in its sights. so recently we produce mostly known barrier packaging based on the polyethylene and polyethylene tariff elements of like these for a standard mayonnaise package also we produce area packaging based on a leading them for oil bubble but foil is rather difficult to process and convert just by bringing it to you can see our dream who did a lot and was processing it by machinery is even harder even with us this material is practically known recyclable as a result a project was started to produce thin film membrane instead of aluminum foil in the
1:56 pm
project was established together with. through that project we produced the first membrane that has the same barry attributes 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 at a tiny fraction of the thickness. composite films are also on the menu for the down a flex ross national partnership. produced products minister i should composite materials will go into the mr from extrusion creating stronger packaging at a lower cost as rusin in the representatives made clear during the california delegations visit last october this project is just the tip of the ston tsunami of investment we should play as we believe the agreement we've signed with 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
1:57 pm
a number of projects related to biotechnologies and auto components for telecommunications the city. 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 stands high tech potential but we're out of time for this month in moscow scrolling fortunately we can go home to the russian capital knowing it's not the only cow but all russian innovation join us for more on the next technology update and until then enjoy the ride.
