The meeting particularly focused on ways to attract investment in high-tech projects and the prospects of Russia’s scientific and technological sector for development and commercialisation of new technology at Skolkovo.

The President set the goal of bringing the share of modern arms in the Russian armed forces up to at least 30 percent by 2015.

All outdated analogue systems should be replaced with digital systems as part of the programme to establish a common command system for troops and weapons at tactical level by 2012. This applies above all to military units in the North Caucasus Military District, the President said.
