Kyrgyz authorities are evaluating new technological solutions to monitor and control civilian drone flights. A Romanian company recently presented its Argonian UTM and Drone Detection service to the State Agency for Civil Aviation of Kyrgyzstan. The system is designed to determine the location of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and track their flight parameters.
According to the agency, company representatives delivered a detailed presentation outlining the system’s operating principles and technical capabilities. Officials expressed particular interest in functions related to UAV detection and real-time monitoring of key flight parameters.
Following the presentation, a practical demonstration was conducted in an urban area of Bishkek. Four drones were launched simultaneously from different locations in the capital. The system reportedly recorded take-off points, altitude, and flight speed in real time, and mapped the flight paths of each device.
In addition, the Argonian UTM system identified the location of one drone operator, indicating that the device was being controlled from a moving vehicle. The data was shown to participants at the meeting and said to correspond with the drones’ actual flight parameters.
The State Agency for Civil Aviation stated that the solution “ensures effective detection of unmanned aerial vehicles, enables real-time monitoring of key flight parameters, and is of practical interest for improving UAV operational safety.”
Agency representatives described the presentation as positively received, adding that the potential acquisition of the system will be considered as part of broader efforts to enhance drone flight safety and introduce new technical solutions in the country.
Interest in such technologies is increasing amid tighter regulation of UAV operations. Since the beginning of 2026, a new law has required drone owners in Kyrgyzstan to register with the State Agency for Civil Aviation and undergo a medical examination by a psychiatrist. UAV operations are now permitted only with a one-time authorization or an annual permit issued by state authorities.
