To what extent has the domestic drone developed at present?

The full name of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is "UAV", which is an unmanned aerial vehicle 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. It is the product of high-tech content in the information age.

In recent years, with the maturity of satellite positioning system, the improvement of electronic and radio control technology and the appearance of multi-rotor UAV structure, UAV industry has entered a stage of rapid development. At present, UAV has become an important tool for commercial, government and consumer applications, and is widely used in the fields of construction, petroleum, agriculture and public utilities. In the past 202 1 year, the UAV industry has been greatly developed, the technology has been maturing, and the application has been landing. So, to what extent has China's UAV developed?

At present, the listed companies in the domestic UAV industry mainly include Northern Navigation (600435), Hongdu Aviation (6003 16), Shilian Aviation (000697), Baoti (600456), Taihe New Materials (002254) and Huitong (6882 19).

Development course of the industry: The industry is in a high-speed development stage.

The development of UAV in China began with military UAV. As early as 1960, China began to develop unmanned aerial vehicles. 1964, type I UAV was born, and type II UAV was also developed in 1970s. Until 1980, the state approved the design of Wuxian 5. 198 1 year began to equip troops, which played an important role in military and tactical reconnaissance and was a leap in the field of UAV technology in China.

At the end of the 20th century, Xi 'an Aisheng Technology Group Company became the first large-scale UAV manufacturer in China, and Chinese UAVs entered a stage of steady development, gradually changing from the military field to the civilian field. In 20 12, DJI UAV released the first consumer-grade UAV, which detonated the civil UAV market. Since then, the civil drone market in China has exploded.

Market situation

1, market size

With the maturity of UAV technology and the reduction of manufacturing cost and entry threshold, the consumer UAV market has exploded, and the civil UAV market is on the eve of the explosion. According to the data, the market scale of civil UAV in China has increased from 7.9 billion yuan in 20 17 to 22 billion yuan in 20 19, with an average compound annual growth rate of 66.88%, and it is expected to reach the market scale of 453 in 2022.

2. Market share

Civil UAVs are mainly divided into consumer UAVs and industrial UAVs. The data shows that the market share of consumer drones in China exceeds 65. 12%, and the market share of industrial drones is 34.88%.

Industry development degree and application field

1. The market scale of the industrial drone industry has been further expanded.

In the future, the growth rate of the industrial drone industry will remain at a high level. According to yost Sullivan's prediction, in 2026, the market size of industrial drones in China will reach about 265.8 billion yuan.

2. Technological breakthroughs and integration accelerate the development of the industry.

At present, with the help of DJI and other enterprises, China has a certain leading edge in UAV technology. Based on this, in 20021year, with the continuous emergence of industrial capital, the layout of related enterprises was obviously accelerated, the commercialization pace of 5G and artificial intelligence was deepened, the new infrastructure strategy was further implemented, and the development of civil drones was constantly improved.

3.5G and cloud computing help the development of industrial drones.

According to Jost Sullivan's research report, 5G has the characteristics of ultra-low delay, ultra-large bandwidth and ultra-high reliability. Compared with 4G, it has the advantages of wide coverage and massive connection. At present, some UAV applications have been running with the support of 4G network communication, but they are greatly affected by bandwidth, delay and interference. With the development of 5G commercialization, the new generation of mobile communication network will solve the communication problems encountered in the application of UAV industry, and give UAV the capabilities of ultra-high definition image transmission, ultra-low delay data transmission, over-the-horizon flight, remote control and so on. Cloud computing platform can provide safe data storage and computing services for industrial UAV industry, which is an important factor for UAV to realize intelligence.

Although it started late, it developed rapidly.

China has been developing drones for more than 50 years. The research and development of UAV in China has accumulated some experience in many technical fields, such as overall design, flight control, integrated navigation, relay data link system, sensor technology, image transmission, information countermeasures, launch recovery, manufacturing and military, and has a certain technical foundation.

Dozens of target drones and reconnaissance drones have been developed, which can be mass-produced and equipped with troops. In recent years, a number of new unmanned aerial vehicles have been delivered for use, which are widely used in military fields such as day and night aerial reconnaissance, battlefield surveillance, target positioning, corrected artillery shooting, battlefield damage assessment, border patrol, and civilian fields such as aerial photography, geophysical exploration, disaster monitoring, and coastal smuggling.

Industrial development prospect and trend forecast

1, stealth, miniaturization trend

With the rapid development of modern air defense weapons, higher requirements are put forward for the stealth performance and maneuverability of unmanned aerial vehicles. In order to improve the maneuverability and battlefield survivability of UAV, UAV needs to develop towards stealth and miniaturization in the future.

Micro UAV has the characteristics of convenient carrying and flexible use, which greatly enhances the ability of war reconnaissance and penetration. Both military and civilian UAVs in China are developing towards miniaturization. For example, experts from Northwestern Polytechnical University designed a bird-like flapping-wing UAV with a weight of about 200 grams and a wingspan of 50 centimeters. It is believed that with the continuous development of microelectronics technology, weak signal control and communication technology, China's micro UAV will be more mature.

2. The civil drone market is expected to continue to expand.

According to "Guiding Opinions of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Promoting and Regulating the Development of Civil UAV Manufacturing Industry" 20 17, the development goal of civil UAV industry is defined. By 2025, the output value of China's civil drones will reach180 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 25%.

The industrial scale, technical level and enterprise strength continue to maintain the international leading momentum, establish and improve the standards, testing and certification systems and industrial systems of civil drones, and realize the safe, controllable and healthy development of civil drones.
