Future development trend of UAV

The full name of UAV is "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle", which is abbreviated as "UAV" in English. It is an unmanned aircraft operated by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device. It involves sensor technology, communication technology, information processing technology, intelligent control technology and aviation power propulsion technology, etc. It is the product of high-tech content in the information age.

The value of UAV lies in forming an aerial platform, combining with other components to expand its application and replace human beings to complete aerial work. With the development of UAV technology, the manufacturing cost has been greatly reduced. UAVs have been widely used in various fields, including agricultural plant protection, electric power inspection, police law enforcement, geological exploration, environmental monitoring, forest fire prevention, film and television aerial photography and other civilian fields, and their application fields are still expanding rapidly.

Civil consumer drones continue to grow at a high speed.

The rapid growth of the civilian consumer drone market is inevitable. The development of lightweight composite materials and communication systems provides the basic conditions, and the maturity of flight control technology makes the operation of multi-rotor UAV more flexible and convenient. Thanks to the maturity of the industrial chain, the cost of spare parts such as sensors and magnetic compasses has been reduced, and the price of consumer drones has been greatly reduced. The combination of drones and cameras has been widely used in civil aerial photography, film and television aerial photography and other scenes, achieving a breakthrough in the sales market.

It is difficult to realize large-scale application of civil industrial UAV before technical breakthrough.

The battery life of civil industrial drones needs to be improved, and the current effective battery life is generally less than 30 minutes; The flight stability of industrial UAV needs to be improved, and the flight stability of UAV is poor in complex environments such as wind, rain and snow, which needs to be improved. The load capacity of industrial UAV needs to be improved, and the load of small industrial UAV is poor, which restricts its application in pesticide spraying, logistics and other scenes. In the fields of agriculture, forestry, security and electric power, it is difficult to realize the large-scale application of civil industrial UAV before the technological breakthrough due to the constraints of endurance, load and stability. In addition, the industrial UAV is expensive, and it is also a practical problem to be considered in the production and application field of pursuing investment income.
