Kazakhstan Develops Its Own Unmanned Technology Industry
Kazakhstan aims to establish a fully-fledged unmanned technology industry and expand the use of these technologies across the economy. To support this goal, the Government has approved a Comprehensive Plan for the Development of Unmanned Systems for 2026–2029. The plan focuses on developing domestic manufacturing, digital infrastructure and training qualified specialists.
One of the key priorities is the creation of a unified digital platform for registering unmanned aircraft, submitting applications and obtaining flight route approvals. The country also plans to introduce UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) systems to automate drone traffic management, improve safety and ensure more efficient use of airspace.
Particular attention will be given to developing domestic production capabilities. Kazakhstan plans to localise the manufacturing of unmanned systems, including hardware components, communication systems and software. Support measures for local manufacturers will include public procurement mechanisms, long-term offtake agreements and investment incentives.
The plan also предусматривает the establishment of at least two research and development (R&D) centres, training 1,000 specialists and expanding the use of unmanned technologies in agriculture, energy, industry, logistics and environmental monitoring. Pilot testing of unmanned cargo transportation is scheduled for 2027–2028.
These initiatives lay the groundwork for a new technology market in Kazakhstan and create opportunities for cooperation between manufacturers, developers and suppliers of industry-specific solutions.
