"In 2020, the scale of China's UAV market has exceeded 20 billion yuan, and by 2025, the output value of civil UAVs will reach 56 billion yuan. The German drone company estimates that the global drone market will be worth $42.8 billion by 2025."
Lv Yueguang, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said this when addressing the opening ceremony of the 2021 International Conference on UAV Application, Prevention and Control held today.
As, in his opinion, 5 g, artificial intelligence, Internet of things, cloud computing, big data, such as virtual reality technology and the unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) constantly fusion, uavs will integrate advanced robotic technology and algorithm, become a intelligent vision, depth study of "intelligent robots" air, promote sustained outbreak of downstream application market demand, the application will be more diverse and deepening, In agriculture, surveying and mapping, electricity, environmental protection, exploration, public security, smart logistics and other fields.
"The future of drones will be intelligent." Lu Yueguang said that intelligent drones are replacing humans, and are more accurate and efficient than humans. "UAV has become an indispensable and important application platform for intelligent society."
In recent years, with the progress of science and technology, the development of society and the outbreak of demand, the UAV market has been booming rapidly. Especially during the epidemic period, the research, development and application of UAV have achieved fruitful results.
"We attach great importance to the application in the field of uav in the post express logistics, and take the lead in the country to support related to pilot, is one of the important industries, unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) application research and development, so to speak, it is changing the post express logistics network mode, the commercial operation pattern, will bring great influence to the whole industry development."
In his view, postal delivery logistics drones have a wide range of applications. With the rapid development of China's economy and society, especially the rise of e-commerce retail industry, post has ushered in a second brilliant. Take express delivery business for example. It has been growing rapidly year after year. Even in the period of the epidemic in 2020, it still reached 83.4 billion pieces, a year-on-year increase of 31%, accounting for 62% of the global total and contributing more than 70% to global express delivery. "At present, the demand for express delivery from users in remote mountainous areas, rural areas and islands, agricultural products in cities and industrial products in the countryside are very heavy. Especially in the more remote places, you have to rely on drones."
At present, the top 10 delivery companies in the industry are all developing their own drones, and it's no wonder that JD of SF Express is doing so. In March 2018, the Civil Aviation Administration of East China issued the first unmanned air operation license in China. At present, SF Express has flown 40,000 sorties in the relevant western Sichuan and northern Yunnan, with a flight mileage of 450,000 kilometers, taking off and landing 1,000 sorties per day. At present, SF Express has realized the industrial operation mode and reached the balance of income and expenditure. It has great confidence in the promotion and application of the industry.
In view of the problems existing in the UAV development in the industry, such as unstandard service, inconsistent service process, security risks concerned by the air traffic control department of civil aviation, and no convincing solution in airspace, the State Post Bureau took the first step in the absence of perfect UAV design and manufacturing standards and flight standards. In May 2019, it took the lead in launching the research on delivery service standards of express logistics drones. It was released in October 2020 and formally implemented in January 2021, which has been fully recognized by relevant parties, laying a foundation for the scene application of express logistics UAV.
"In the next step, the State Post Bureau will adhere to the policies and regulations, standards, planning, scientific and technological research and development, pilot demonstration and other aspects of the series of arrangements, so that the relevant national encouragement policies in the industry implementation effect." Jin Bing said that the conditions for the massive application of unmanned intelligence in the industry have been initially perfected and are in place, and it is expected to usher in explosive development within five years.
As a highly scientific, highly socialized and highly strategic high-end equipment, drone are increasingly widely used in civil and military fields. China's UAV industry, through the joint efforts of the vast number of scientific and technological personnel and industry, has occupied an important position in the world, especially consumer UAV, has become the "Made in China" beautiful name card.
"UAV is an important part of the future general aviation, a strategic emerging industry of the country.
