"The drone appeared in the 1920s. Its appearance was related to the Second World War. Of course, it was also used for military purposes. With the development of the past century, drone technology has made a qualitative leap, except in Military applications are increasingly used in civilian applications. Civil applications are mainly used in plant protection, film and television, electricity, meteorology, etc. When it comes to drones, many people’s first reaction is represented by Dajiang. Hang up the consumer-grade aerial drone of the camera. The factors affecting manned passengers include the following aspects: technical aspects: safety, endurance and other performance indicators need to be improved; social aspects: in policy and technical issues to solve Before, there was a general wait-and-see attitude, and the security system including UTM and others needed to be perfected; the price: usually more than one million, but also faced with other competition. Since the driverless car is already on the road, then no one is available. What is it like to develop?"
Specialization is the direction of development of drones
With the continuous development of technology, more and more companies are entering, and drone companies will gradually move toward price wars and advertising wars, and they will become more and more fierce! In the process of shuffling, there will inevitably be the survival of the fittest, and some oligarchs will emerge.
For the user, the specific needs are refined and changed, especially in the industrial field. The future development direction of the drone will surely take a deep root in the specialized segmentation field. Focus on a certain segment to provide users with comprehensive industry application solutions.
Military drone
The military drones show the synergy effect of domestic demand and military trade, which is to benefit from the massive demand for the Chinese military on the one hand, and the prosperity of the domestic military drone market; on the other hand, the Chinese military useless The export of military and military trade will gradually begin. Furthermore, military UAVs are still the first market for the UAV industry due to their higher technical barriers in the core technologies of UAVs such as flight control technology and power transmission systems, and the prospects are still promising.
Compared with manned aircraft, military UAVs have the outstanding features of small size, light weight, low cost, convenient use, zero casualties, low use restrictions, good concealment and high cost-effectiveness. This has made the scope of modern military drones extended from traditional aerial reconnaissance, battlefield observation and damage assessment to battlefield suppression, ground attack, interceptor missiles, air combat and other fields.
UAVs are one of the important areas of unmanned combat. In the future, unmanned combat aircraft will not only fight side by side with manned fighters on the battlefield, but even under certain conditions, it may completely replace the manned fighters and become the main equipment for future air operations. Therefore, the future prospects of drones are broad.
Distribution drone
At present, Jingdong UAV has obtained the flight permits of the above four places, and has determined more than 10 routes. These routes are also designed to ensure safety and efficiency in the distribution process. The weight and distance of this order can basically meet the needs of various consumers, and at the same time, it is more intelligent than the previous distribution. I believe that there will be more unmanned vehicles and drones in the future, and the goods will not be idiotic dreams.
At present, if the drone is to be distributed, the platform must first apply for the route to the relevant department. The process of the former is more complicated than the delivery of the delivery. At present, domestic drone distribution is mainly point-to-point at close range and where the traffic is not so dense. In addition, the current drone distribution has restrictions on the weight of the goods.
Many Internet e-commerce and take-out platforms regard unmanned distribution as an important step in the “future logistics” strategy. However, there is still no unified direction in the industry. Some are taking the direction of drones, and some are trying unmanned vehicles or take-out robots. Unmanned distribution is more about solving the “last mile” and realizing logistics in places where ground transportation is inconvenient, rather than completely replacing manpower.
Agricultural drone
The history of drone development is not long, especially its civilian application time is more short-lived. Therefore, it is not popular in the application of agriculture. However, I believe that with the continuous development of drone technology, the future will certainly be put into use on a large scale in agriculture.
At present, more than 90% of plant protection machinery in China is a manual knapsack sprayer. The main products are single-tube spray, compression sprayer, knapsack sprayer, etc., with an annual output of 8 million units and a social reserve of more than 100 million units. The manual sprayer “run, run, drip, leak” is serious, it is difficult to ensure timely prevention and control. At the same time, the physical damage to the crops caused by mechanical operations is serious, causing heavy losses in farmland, and the water consumption is as high as mu, which is extremely unsuitable for water-saving agriculture in the central and western regions. Therefore, modern, intelligent and energy-saving plant protection machinery has great growth potential.
If the drone is applied to spray pesticides, it replaces the traditional manual spraying. Farmers only need to stand in the distance to a safe place to control, this will ensure the safety of personnel, and completely liberate the peasants from the spraying of pesticides. It is believed that in the near future, drones will completely replace farmers in spraying pesticides.
Civil drone
From the current point of view, there are still many technical problems in the Chinese civil drones, such as the lack of large load and landing environment, inaccurate positioning in the air, poor reliability of circuit connectors, high energy consumption of hyperspectral sensors, and lack of long-haul Time ability, etc. If a small aircraft is used, its load weight and flight capacity are insufficient, and the cost of a large aircraft is too high.
In the future, the development direction of civilian drones is air robots, and drone technology is used to improve ground machinery. We must consider the energy problem, such as letting the patrol drone hang on the wire, and let the aerial work drone be fixed to somewhere on the outer wall of the high-rise building to carry out flexible work such as nailing, pipe, repair, etc. For homework, never fly.
China's civilian drone market will usher in the first industry application climax in the next three years, only based on the sales volume of hardware products. In 2018, the Chinese civil aircraft market reached 11.09 billion yuan. At the same time, from the current trend and combined with the future trend of application of industrial-grade drones, it is estimated that by 2023, the global industry-class drone market will exceed 30 billion US dollars. Moreover, the industry's compound annual growth rate will remain at around 45% in 2018-2023, and the development prospects are very broad.
Performance drone
In today's large-scale celebrations at home and abroad, drone flight shows seem to be standard. On February 9th, at the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, the drones splendid, and the 1218 Intel ShooTIngStar drones created the first drone light show in the history of the Olympic Games and created the same time. The Guinness World Record for the release of the largest number of drones.
At the same time, at the 2018 Spring Festival Gala, the drone formation performance called "Zhuhai 7 Minutes" made the drone flight show truly enter the national audience's vision for the first time. Then, the ancient city of Xi'an staged a large-scale drone lighting SHOW on the first day of the first month of the first month and the Lantern Festival, bringing a novel visual feast for the citizens and tourists.
In a nutshell, the “marriage” between drones and LEDs links two seemingly unrelated industries, using the sky as the background and the drone as the picture. As the control system becomes more sophisticated, this The area and resolution of the block canvas will become higher and higher, and the commercial value will become larger and larger. Moreover, in addition to the commercial benefits that can be brought about by itself, contrary to the rapid development of China's drone industry in recent years, China's popularity of drones is not satisfactory. Then, the acceptance of this kind of entertainment to win the audience, the popularity process will be greatly shortened.
Data drone
The unique advantages of drones in data collection have provided us with new solutions, which have been launched in various fields such as meteorology, transportation, home and even disaster forecasting.
During the Spring Festival, many people can check the road network situation from time to time, and make accurate judgments on congested road sections, accident rescue, service area guidance, etc., which provides a basic guarantee for the smooth flow of important highway arteries.
With the advancement of technology, no one has the opportunity to further improve its ability to complete autonomous data collection tasks, and to be able to make decisions and handle business independently, which will inevitably generate great economic and social benefits.
end
Today's aircraft, such as passenger aircraft, already have automatic driving and blind drop systems, and it is entirely possible to develop into a completely unmanned driver in the future. For small manned helicopters, it is easier to drive unmanned. It is only that the aircraft will encounter uncertain airflow and environmental impact in the air. The current technology is still not reliable. With the development of AI technology, this is only a matter of time. Artificial intelligence technology is the first subversion technology to improve the application capabilities of drones. There is no doubt that artificial intelligence technology has a core reference for the development of drones.
