    Aerial photography, delivery, spraying pesticides ... At present, drones are more and more integrated into daily production and life, and the scope of application has been widely expanded, becoming high-tech equipment with full affinity.


    Has been used in many fields such as agriculture, plant protection, express transportation, disaster relief, mapping


    "Litchi picked in the morning, arrived at the buyer's table in the afternoon, drones have greatly saved manpower and material costs." Yin Zhihong, director and senior engineer of Haiying Aviation General Equipment Co., Ltd. said that drones will become a solution to logistics Deliver technology products for the "last mile" issue.


    Drones were first used in military applications such as aerial reconnaissance in the last century. By the beginning of the 21st century, with the emergence of new technologies such as global satellite positioning and cost reduction, civilian drones have begun to proliferate. As of the end of June 2019, the number of registered drones in China reached 339,000. Statistics show that China ’s consumer drone exports account for about 70% of the world ’s total drone exports, reaching more than 1.2 million. Shenzhen has 70% of the world's civilian small drone market share, becoming a global benchmark for drone products. Shenzhen also has more than 300 drone companies such as DJI, Yidian and MMC, with annual sales exceeding 20 billion yuan.


    According to the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting and Regulating the Development of Civilian UAV Manufacturing Industry" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China in 2017, by 2020, the civilian UAV industry will continue to develop rapidly and its output value will reach 60 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 40%. . By 2025, the output value of civilian drones will reach 180 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 25%.


    Behind the rapid development of the drone industry is the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of the market.


    "Drones are the result of the combination of traditional aviation and emerging electronics and communication technologies. This industry is mainly driven by technology." Shi Shengqing, deputy general manager of Zero Degree Intelligent Control, said that the development of integrated circuits and communications technologies in recent years has not only made traditional The volume and weight of the human-machine have been greatly reduced, and the unimaginable flight form of traditional aviation has become a reality.


    Ma Hongzhong, chairman of Haiying Aviation General Equipment Co., Ltd. believes that market demand is also driving the development of the drone industry. "People are increasingly realizing that drones can perform tasks that are inconvenient for humans. For example, it takes 1-2 hours to manually inspect a tower, while autonomous drones only take 5-10 minutes to discover The hidden dangers that cannot be found by the human eye are widely used. "


    At present, drones have been applied in many fields such as aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, express transportation, disaster rescue, mapping, and power inspection. In the next few years, drones will become a more common tool of labor. Shi Shengqing believes that drones have the possibility of integration with various industries, especially in helping to upgrade traditional industries, the advantages of drones are particularly obvious.


    Industry insiders pointed out that DJI's success in the field of consumer drones has also promoted the development of the entire industry. In addition to aerial photography, the consumer-level intelligent drones they launch can also be applied in many fields such as forest patrols, line maintenance, traffic guidance, emergency rescue, and sports game penalties. "DJI's success has refreshed the world's understanding of drones. Low prices have led to the rapid proliferation of consumer drones, allowing the public to use, want, use, and dare to use drones." Liu Yang, CEO of Carrier Technology It is believed that the success of DJI has strengthened the determination of practitioners to enter the industrial and consumer drone markets.


    Strengthen supervision, train talents, improve laws and regulations, and promote healthy competition in the industry


    Drones need to fly higher and more securely without effective supervision. In recent years, relevant departments and local governments have issued many policy documents on drones, which have successively made regulations in the areas of registration, airworthiness, airspace management, operation management, and flight license management to protect the development of the drone industry. .
