Civilian and military drone applications are developing simultaneously.

The liberalization of airspace management policies and technological breakthroughs in the safety

The liberalization of airspace management policies and technological breakthroughs in the safety of drones will unleash enormous demand in the civilian sector. Currently, the main obstacles to the development of the drone industry are safety and airspace management policies. Machine vision technology, automatic obstacle avoidance technology, and automatic fault prevention technology have improved drone safety. At the same time, the liberalization of domestic general aviation policies is an inevitable trend, and low-altitude airspace policies are expected to be implemented this year, with policies shifting from restriction to standardized regulation. With technological maturity and the liberalization of low-altitude policies, the application scenarios of drones are constantly expanding, and the next 5 years will be a period of rapid development for drones.

Future development direction of drones: intelligence, changing the way people live. Drones are aerial mobile platforms, and the development of "drones +" is full of imagination. Future drones will integrate more robotics technology and more advanced algorithms, equip more sensors, load more task payload equipment, access external networks, and intelligently complete various complex tasks.

Against the backdrop of global military spending cuts, military drones, with their constantly improving performance, will accelerate their deployment in the military and gradually replace manned aircraft. In recent years, China has strengthened the development of military drone technology, gradually narrowing the gap with the United States and Israel. The military's emphasis on promoting strong domestic demand, and the cost-performance advantage is expected to enable military drones to overtake in exports; technological progress and the gradual relaxation of policies are promoting the popularization of drones in the civilian field, and areas with good business models (plant protection drones) and government two-network procurement (police, power inspection) will be the first to become breakthroughs in civilian use.
