The participants recognized the effectiveness of military-technical experiments as a mechanism for additional justification of the need to open initiative work and will continue this practice in the future.

"Innovations are needed now more than ever, they are needed here and now. This includes the refinement of finished products, and the integration of products in order to obtain a new quality, the use of end–to-end technologies that can improve existing samples, for example, technological artificial intelligence," said A. Osadchuk. He stressed that today it is important to combine the efforts of developers in the interests of obtaining the samples needed by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Also within the framework of the event, issues of attracting enterprises and organizations developing high-tech samples of weapons and military equipment to carry out initiative work, including on the basis of the Military Innovative Technopolis "ERA", and accelerated implementation of their results to solve real combat tasks were discussed.
