Let the spray drone “fly” higher and farther

A few years ago, drones were a particularly “lofty” niche tool; Today, with its unique advantages, drones are increasingly integrated into daily production life. With the continuous maturity of technologies such as sensors, communications, and aviation capacity, as well as the integration of artificial intelligence technology, China’s UAV industry has developed rapidly, and its application scenarios have been expanding and deepening.

The wide application of drones is the epitome of the rapid development of China’s drone industry. As an important indicator of the level of high-end manufacturing in a country, in addition to forming a huge industrial chain, the UAV industry has the possibility of integration with various industries, and it has great potential in helping the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the incremental expansion of emerging industries.

Why domestic drones can continue to “fly” to new heights? The first is the continued expansion of the market. In recent years, the proportion of industrial drones has increased. Different from traditional consumer drones, industrial drones can “show their skills” in more areas and the market is larger. On farmland, it can spray pesticides; In case of fire, it can monitor and help extinguish the fire in real time. When inspecting electric power, it can find hidden dangers that human eyes can’t see. Even in the Everest cryosphere “physical examination”, food delivery and other scenes can also play an important role. It is gratifying that domestic civilian drones, especially plant protection drones, are increasingly going abroad and are favored by farmers in many countries and regions, helping local agricultural production to be more efficient and safe.

The second is the continuous development of technology. Technological innovation is the key word of China’s UAV development. After long-term R&D and innovation, domestic UAVs have made great progress in the core cloud platform, flight control, mission payload, image transmission, endurance, obstacle avoidance and other fields, achieved some breakthroughs, and developed toward intelligence, synergy, and clustering. For example, some UAVs produced by manufacturers effectively integrate the dual advantages of multi-rotor take-off and landing flexibility and fixed-wing long-term endurance, with a number of commercial applications mounted to meet the needs of different scenarios, and some convert the track, explore a new path, and develop underwater UAVs, which are used in underwater emergency rescue, Marine industry, fisheries, scientific research and environmental protection and other fields.

At present, domestic UAVs are in the stage of gaining momentum at the industrial level. Application expansion and market expansion are accompanied by fierce competition. In this context, relevant UAV companies should strengthen the segmentation field, increase innovation in their own good track, and develop application potential. In recent years, the state has issued drone regulations and policy documents, strengthened management norms, and the new professions related to drone pilots have flourished, the talent team has grown, and many places have strengthened the supply chain and promoted industrial collaboration. All these have laid a solid foundation for creating a good industry ecology. Enterprises should seize the opportunity, seize the momentum, and let domestic drones “fly” higher and farther. (
