The Wing Loong-2H artificial rain (snow) drone took off from Liupanshui Yuezhao Airport to perform artificial rain enhancement operations.
At 19:45 on March 24, the Wing Loong-2H artificial rain (snow) UAV was equipped with special mission loads such as an airborne catalytic operation system, a cloud particle spectrometer, and a precipitation particle spectrometer, and flew from Liupanshui Yuezhao Airport in Guizhou Province. It took off and completed the rainfall enhancement catalytic operation in the Ya'an Shimian County mission area. After this operation, light to moderate rain fell generally in the affected area, and the operation effect was remarkable. It effectively increased the air humidity and soil moisture content near the fire scene, and minimized the possibility of fire re-ignition. In order to reduce the level of forest fire danger and alleviate severe disasters, The situation of forest fire prevention and suppression has played a key role.

The Wing loong-2H artificial rain (snow) UAV that is performing artificial rain enhancement operations this time belongs to the Pterosaur-2H meteorological UAV series. It has the characteristics of long flight range, heavy mission load, and high practical ceiling. Accurate and efficient artificial weather modification operations can be implemented using the "detection and sowing" method. Since March, this model has carried out multiple rounds of normalized artificial rain (snow) operations and meteorological emergency support operations, including the first normalized artificial rain enhancement in Guizhou and the meteorological emergency support for the "3·15" forest fire in Yajiang County, giving full play to The role of shadow operations in ensuring water resources security and ecological security was highlighted. So far, the mountain fire near Huilong Town, Shimian County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province has been extinguished.

Currently, the forest and grassland fire prevention and extinguishing situation in some areas of our country is severe, and the fire danger level in some areas remains high. AVIC UAV will continue to implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on disaster prevention and reduction and meteorological work, not forgetting the original intention of aviation to serve the country, keeping in mind the mission of aviation to make the country strong, with the "greatest country" in mind, serving the people's livelihood and well-being with scientific and technological innovation, and using useless The human system leads the future, and contributes strength and wisdom to lay a solid foundation for building the first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and reduction, and to provide support for major meteorological emergencies.
