A few years ago, drones were still a particularly “high class” niche tool; today, with their unique advantages, drones are increasingly integrated into daily production and life. With the continuous maturation of sensors, communications, aviation capacity and other technologies, as well as the integration of artificial intelligence technology, China’s drone industry is developing rapidly, and application scenarios are increasingly expanding and deepening.
The wide application of drones epitomizes the rapid development of China’s drone industry. As an important symbol to measure the level of a country’s high-end manufacturing industry, in addition to its own ability to form a huge industrial chain, the drone industry has the possibility of integrating with various industries, and it has great potential to help the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the incremental expansion of emerging industries.
Why can domestic drones continue to “fly” to new heights? First of all, the market continues to expand. In the past few years, the proportion of industrial-grade drones has increased. Unlike traditional consumer-grade drones, industrial-grade drones can “show off” in more fields and in a larger market. In the farmland, it can spray pesticides; in case of fire, it can real-time monitoring, to assist in fire fighting; power and other inspections, it can find the hidden dangers that the human eye can not see; and even in the Everest cryosphere “physical examination”, takeaway delivery and other scenes can also play an important role. It is gratifying to see that domestic civil drones, especially plant protection drones, are increasingly going out of the country, favored by farmers in many countries and regions, and helping local agricultural production to be more efficient and safe.
The second is the continuous development of technology. Technological innovation is the keyword of China’s drone development history. After a long period of R&D and innovation, domestic drones have made great progress and achieved some breakthroughs in areas such as the core cloud platform, flight control, mission payload, image transmission, range, obstacle avoidance, and so on, and are moving towards intelligence, synergization and clustering. For example, some manufacturers produce drones that effectively integrate the dual advantages of flexible multi-rotor take-off and landing and fixed-wing long endurance, with a variety of commercial applications mounted to meet the needs of different scenarios of operations, while some are converted to a different track, another way to research and development of underwater drones, applied to underwater emergency rescue, maritime marine industry, fishery farming, scientific research and environmental protection and other fields.
Currently, domestic drones are in a stage of momentum at the level of industrial-level applications. The expansion of applications and market expansion is accompanied by fierce competition. In this context, the relevant UAV enterprises should strengthen their segmentation, increase innovation in the track they specialize in, and develop application potential. In recent years, the state has introduced drone regulations and policy documents, strengthened management norms, drone pilots and other related new careers have flourished, the talent pool has grown, and many places have strengthened their supply chains and promoted industrial synergies……. All of these have laid a solid foundation for creating a good industry ecosystem. Enterprises should seize the opportunity to take advantage of the momentum, so that domestic drones “fly” higher and farther.
