QARGA team, ADAM University (Kyrgyzstan), and Sinclair College (USA) held their first official discussions on potential cooperation in the field of unmanned aerial technologies, drone manufacturing, and professional workforce development.
During the meeting, the Kyrgyz side presented the QARGA drone manufacturing initiative — a project that has been under development for more than three years and focuses on creating locally developed UAV and VTOL solutions for civilian applications in Kyrgyzstan.
The project recently received positive attention from the Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan during Kyrgyzstan EXPO 2025. Current and planned applications include high-voltage power line inspection in mountainous regions, geodetic and mapping operations, environmental monitoring, and emergency response support.
Representatives of ADAM University highlighted the growing need for qualified drone operators and technical specialists in Kyrgyzstan. As part of the initiative, the university plans to support the development of educational and training programs for the civilian drone sector, including energy, agriculture, ecology, and infrastructure monitoring.
QARGA representatives also presented several UAV platforms currently under development, including compact VTOL systems, long-endurance fixed-wing aircraft, and large-scale electric flying wing platforms designed specifically for operation in mountainous terrain and challenging weather conditions.
Sinclair College shared its experience of more than 15 years in unmanned systems education, operator training, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, 3D modeling, and emergency response operations in the United States.
The parties discussed several potential areas of cooperation, including:
• Development of drone education and certification programs
• Online and simulator-based operator training
• Technical and legal consulting
• Joint exchange of expertise in civilian UAV applications
• Support for training future instructors and specialists in Kyrgyzstan
As a result of the meeting, the parties agreed to continue discussions and begin working on a formal framework for future cooperation and educational development in the unmanned aviation sector.
