On March 12, 2026, Dmitry Rogozin, member of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, Senator of the Russian Federation, and head of the Bars-Sarmat Special Purpose Center (volunteer, unmanned systems), visited the State University of Management.
The guest met with Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, and Vice-Rectors Dmitry Bryukhanov, Maria Karelina, and Pavel Pavlovsky to discuss potential areas of cooperation and joint projects.
"We regularly visit new territories. In 2025, we delivered humanitarian aid three times, met with the leadership of local universities, and held events with the VSKS. Our scientists assist individual combat units with technical documentation, new developments, and so on. We assist several universities with their education, offering distance learning courses at some, and we also collaborate in the scientific field. Now is the time when we need to help our people, wherever they are," Vladimir Stroyev emphasized.
"The university's commitment to helping SVO participants both during and after their service is deeply respectful. I see common ground between the Bars-Sarmat Center for Specialized Research and the State University of Management in the development of unmanned technologies and robotics, the implementation of digital solutions for monitoring infrastructure and territories, and continuing education and employment for SVO participants," noted Dmitry Rogozin.
The parties agreed to create a working group to develop specific joint projects.
The senator then addressed the students of the State University of Management, discussing his work experience, his involvement in the SVO, and the unique volunteer unit he currently leads, "Bars-Sarmat," which focuses on remote warfare—the use of air, land, sea, and river drones, electronic warfare systems, and optical-electronic reconnaissance.
"We are at the forefront of scientific and technological development and specialize in combat testing of new technological developments. About 20% of our personnel are women. Although I don't think it's entirely right to have women in war, they were highly motivated, and we gave them the opportunity to prove themselves and take revenge on the enemy. They have become unique fighters, of whom we are proud," Dmitry Rogozin concluded his speech to the students.
Following this, the students were shown a film about service in modern unmanned forces—two episodes about the Bars-Sarmat Center for Special Operations, produced by the Az'efilm film company. The guest, accompanied by representatives of the GUU rector's office, went on a campus tour, which included visits to the media center, the RUMTS, the Engineering Project Management Center, the RosGeoTech Unmanned Aircraft Systems Laboratory, the Digital Technologies in Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, and the Moscow branch of the VSKS. The member of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security was particularly interested in the engineering developments of GUU scientists, which he praised and invited them to return the visit to the Bars-Sarmat Center.
In addition, the rector's office of the State University of Management announced the opening of the Information Center for Unmanned Systems Troops and Assistance to the Air Defense Forces.
