The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake was an important milestone in the Chinese development of UAV.
At present, the civilian UAV industry in China is in an important strategic opportunity period of profound transformation. UAV application and UAV control are two key words. If the former is divided and the latter is unified, and in order to achieve the development of the UAV industry, it needs to be unified and integrated. This is the background and purpose of the founding meeting of the UAV Application and Control Committee of the China Geographic Information Industry Association held a few days ago.
Establishment meeting of UAV Application Committee of China Geographic Information Industry Association
At the founding meeting on the same day, Xu Guanhua, former Minister of Science and Technology and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said on the spot that China has an advantage that no country can match.
First of all, from the policy point of view, since the 18th National Congress, the central government has attached great importance to science and technology undertakings, and the scientific and technological undertakings have made intensive efforts. "Significant changes in history, integrity and pattern have been realized, and major innovative achievements have emerged in a race" a series of policies and regulations have been established to promote and to standardize the healthy development of UAV industry, and now the development and application of UAV has become a global hotspot.
Xu Guanhua, Former Minister of Science and Technology
Since the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have penetrated into many fields such as remote sensing, logistics, agriculture, security, electricity, fire fighting, entertainment and so on, driven by emergency and disaster relief. It plays a more and more important role in the national economy and production and life. The UAV industry has also become a new growth point of the national economy, especially the personal consumption UAV, which has already taken the leading position in the global market and become a new business card made in China. At the scene, Xu Guanhua made several suggestions to the UAV Commission:
Strengthening university-industry cooperation to promote the rapid landing of scientific and technological achievements
Setting up a team of experts to provide strong technical support for the establishment of industry standards
Holding regular meetings to develop the Institute of Communication
Xu said that he hoped the ICC would seize the rare historical opportunity in the past thousand years, grasp the spirit of contracting capacity, opening up and sharing, widely absorb members, build an open and sharing platform for UAV industry exchange and cooperation, give full play to the advantages of collective groups, face the world's scientific and technological frontiers, face the major national needs, and face the national economic democracy. In the battlefield, it would do a good job of communication services, actively play the overall role of the Industrial Committee, stand in the perspective of the development of the UAV chain, guide enterprises to advance the layout, occupy the commanding heights of the future, and reflect the important position in the development of the global UAV industry.
