Difference between manual and automatic flight modes of UAV
According to the manual intervention level of UAV flight, it can be divided into manual operation, semi-automatic operation, automatic operation and fully automatic operation.
Industrial UAV can be divided into traditional flight, waypoint flight, assisted automatic flight, advanced assisted automatic flight, limited automatic flight and fully automatic flight according to the different control objects of the system.
Definition and basic composition of UAV automatic airport
UAV automatic airport, also known as UAV airport, UAV hangar or UAV nest, refers to a special parking place specially designed for UAVs. Drones can be directly deployed to the job site to solve the problem of manual use of drones for commuting. The biggest advantage of on-site deployment is to enhance the emergency combat capability of UAV and greatly improve the operational efficiency. When not working, the drone is on standby at the automatic airport; When working, the airport gate is opened, the lifting platform rises to the top, and the drone automatically flies out of the operation.
UAV automatic airport usually includes airport engine room, lifting platform, automatic centering system, automatic charging system, weather station, UPS, industrial air conditioner and so on. Its main functions usually include UAV parking, autonomous charging, autonomous inspection, one-button take-off, precise landing, flight state monitoring, real-time transmission, flight route planning and so on.
UAV automated airports can be classified according to the degree of automation, product form, UAV form, UAV size and charging form. According to the degree of automation, it can be divided into fully automatic UAV airport and semi-automatic UAV airport; According to the product form, it can be divided into fixed UAV airport and mobile UAV airport; According to the form of UAV, it can be divided into fixed-wing airport and multi-rotor airport; According to the size of the UAV, it can be divided into large UAV airports, medium UAV airports and small UAV airports. According to the charging form, it can be divided into drone charging airport and drone changing airport.

Development trend of UAV automated airport
Competitive trend: focus on "systematization-complete software and hardware solutions"
At present, China's UAV automated airport still faces the dilemma of lack of application software. Due to the wide spatial distribution of UAV data, unpredictable time, irregular data acquisition, mostly single-source processing and less joint comprehensive processing, sometimes the timeliness is required to be completed in a few minutes. The integration of software and hardware can transmit the collected external data back to the cloud system in real time and analyze the data, which can be applied to various fine fields and greatly improve the working efficiency of UAV. The integrated development of software and hardware will greatly increase the demand for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) automated airports. In recent years, companies such as Fuya Intelligent have begun to lay out hardware production and software development at the same time.
Technology trends: focus on "scenario" solutions.
In recent years, with the development of technology, the downstream application scenarios of industrial UAVs have been continuously expanded, and UAV airports are also playing an increasingly important role in the fields of energy, environmental protection and smart cities. With the continuous enrichment of application scenarios, the differentiated demand for UAV automated airports in various industries has begun to appear. UAV automation airport enterprises should attach importance to the development of customized "scene" products, provide different solutions for customers in each industry, and create greater value.
Fuya Intelligent has been able to provide UAV automated airport solutions for more than 20 scenarios including power grid, fans, photovoltaics, petrochemicals and transportation. Zhongke Yuntu also introduced industrial application solutions for power, public security, transportation, environmental protection and other scenarios. In the future, the "scene-based" solution will become the development direction of UAV automated airport technology.
Demand trend: The demand in electric power, transportation, water affairs, environmental protection, emergency, logistics and other fields is increasing, and the potential in the field of geographic surveying and mapping needs to be tapped.
Since 20021,the state and related enterprises have successively introduced various plans to benefit the UAV industry. China Southern Power Grid's "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly proposes to promote the upgrading of smart power transmission and distribution, and achieve full coverage of intelligent inspection of 35kV and above lines by 2025. The Outline of Digital Transportation Development Plan clearly points out that it is necessary to build a digital collection system and a networked transmission system, and integrate and apply a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to realize the state perception of all elements such as people, vehicles, roads and environment. Because of its unattended, 24-hour online, intelligent collection and perception, and convenient intelligent data processing, UAV automated airport can greatly improve the application capability of industrial UAVs. Under the guidance of national policies, the application scale of UAV automated airport in electric power, transportation, water affairs, environmental protection, emergency, logistics and other fields will be greatly improved.
The application of geographic mapping in industrial UAVs accounts for nearly 30%, while the solution of UAV automated airport in the field of geographic mapping is almost blank at present, and the mining of the application potential of UAV airport in the field of surveying and mapping will also become the focus of industry development in the future.
The market scale of UAV automated airport is expected to break through 10,000.
Due to the development trend of UAV intelligent automation, the popularity of UAV automated airport will be significantly improved. According to an interview with experts in the market related to UAV automatic airport such as Fuya Intelligent, the sales growth rate of 202 1 UAV automatic airport exceeded 70%. Assuming that the average number of industrial UAVs in China will increase by 20% from 2022 to 2027, the demand for UAV automatic airports will reach 90,000 under optimistic conditions and 30,000 under pessimistic conditions. In 20021year, nearly 1200 UAVs were sold in the automated airport alone, and there is huge room for future development.
