The gestation period has passed the 2017 plant protection drone this "upgrade"
[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] In 2016, it was called "the first year of plant protection drone", and the agricultural intelligent equipment black technology frequently appeared: binocular barrier of UAV, imitation flight, RTK positioning, Beidou signal double difference, Signal towers and so on are advancing the evolution of plant protection drones.
The gestation period has passed the 2017 plant protection drone this "upgrade"
The breakthrough in plant protection drones this year is the result of a combination of “time, location, and peopleâ€.
At the time of the day, the plant protection agricultural machinery is the key support of the national agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy. It will be a rapid rise in the industry within 5 years. In addition, due to the long-term shortage of rural labor, the next five years will also be the rapid development of plant protection drones. Infiltration period. From the perspective of national policy design, “agricultural aviation†has been supported by the Central No. 1 document in 2014, and has already supported and supported the policy.
Geographically, civilian drones urgently need to find a new growth point outside of aerial photography, and agriculture is undoubtedly a breakthrough. First of all, China's agriculture is defying the “red line†of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land. Plant protection must be guaranteed four to five times a year, which ensures that the market for plant protection drones is broad enough. Secondly, China's agriculture has basically mechanized from planting to harvesting, but plant protection is still a short board on mechanization.
People and people, coincided with the rise of new farmers, no longer adhere to the traditional farming methods, but followed Xi Jinping’s call for “letting agriculture insert the wings of science and technology†and vigorously develop sky productivity. As a new member of China's modern agricultural intelligent equipment, the plant protection drone quickly occupied the minds of a new generation of farmers with its safe characteristics. It has become a project for college students to return home to start businesses, to return home to veterans, and to return home to migrant workers.
The promotion of plant protection drones has always been a problem. In 2016, many manufacturers have made great progress in popularizing drones through demonstrations in Tiannanhaibei.
At present, the general consensus in the industry is that there are still many constraints on plant protection drones, including: expensive, short battery life, lack of professional operators, especially operators who understand agricultural technology. However, from the performance in 2016, the price of drones has not only declined, but also developed a new model. It is no longer necessary for the flight defense team to operate or lease drones for plant protection operations. Far-reaching; the breakthrough of new power systems (such as graphene and hydrogen fuel cells) is gradually solving the problem of battery life; the development of professional flying hands is faster, not only the AOPA driver certificate and the ASFC certificate of China Aviation Association, DJI also specially launched a training school for the operation of its plant protection drones. The training of professional flying hands is mature enough, but the training for its agricultural technology needs to be strengthened.
These are things that the people can do and have done. What should the government do?
From the perspective of the government, it is urgent to form a unified technical standard for the entire industry as soon as possible. In the field of agricultural drones, although the safety technical requirements for agricultural agricultural remote-controlled flight plant protection machines have been completed, the industry has not yet published industry standards. Therefore, it is imperative that the top-level design take the lead in promoting the formulation of industry standards. In the end, it is still a question of breakthrough thinking.
The technical difficulties of the drone itself include: the load and endurance technology to be broken, the slow progress of pesticide development and spraying technology specifications, and the stability of the work to be greatly improved, etc., and it is urgent to solve the problem. The innovation of technology is always productivity.
In addition, there is another important reason why plant protection drones are difficult to promote. They face many problems in agricultural production: fast rotating blades are easy to cause personal injury; batteries and fuels are accidentally caught; people poisoning caused by high concentration liquids; The positioning is not allowed to exceed the limited working area; it cannot be set high and so on. These problems are also an important factor restricting drones. If the safety problems are not solved, the development of plant protection machines will be very limited.
In addition to the technical level of the product, the application technology of the low-altitude and low-volume application of the plant protection drone is also a short-board in the current market. The user does not have a scientific and perfect discriminant criterion to determine the fog required during the spraying process. Application parameters such as droplet size, droplet deposition density, and pesticide concentration. In addition, after the maintenance and training of the plant protection drones, the market needs to be built simultaneously. In recent years, civil drones have gradually emerged, and plant protection drone manufacturers have been established throughout the country, but the relevant supporting industrial chain distribution areas are uneven.
Then, in the new year, which forces will be an important force to promote the development of plant protection drones?
Guidance of top-level design: Due to the special nature of agricultural plant protection drones, it is more difficult to promote enterprises alone, but its broad application prospects are worth investing. Therefore, the government should properly guide and support the research, development and promotion of agricultural plant protection drones. .
The flying hand of the business level: the training of the drone driver is the basis for the widespread application of the agricultural plant protection drone, and the whole industry can be healthy, safe and rapid development. In order to ensure safety and effectiveness, units with agricultural plant protection drones should use field-trained drone drivers to carry out field operations.
Efforts of the supervisory unit: At present, in order to promote the healthy and orderly development of drone operations, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has issued the Interim Provisions on the Driver Management of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (AC-61-FS-2013-20). Notice on Issues Related to Driver Qualification Management of Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems (Civil Aviation [2014] No. 27), "Air Traffic Management Measures for Civil Aircraft Driving Systems" (MD-TM-2016-004), The normative documents such as the “Regulations for the Administration of Civil Drones†(AC-61-FS-2016-20R1) regulate the management of drone drivers and ensure the safe and healthy development of the drone industry.
Improvement of application technology: Agricultural plant protection drones are used as low-altitude low-volume application devices, and the pharmaceutical and application techniques used are different from traditional application devices. Therefore, in the promotion process of agricultural plant protection drones, work should be carried out in conjunction with the promotion of special anti-fighting agents and their supporting pesticide technologies.
The promotion of industrialization: The intelligent control and operation system of agricultural drones requires huge funds. Compared with the broad economic prospects, investment is worthwhile, and it is not enough to rely solely on the company's own capital investment. China can consider incorporating the development, development and evolution of agricultural drones into scientific and technological development plans, and accelerating development and industrialization with scientific research institutions and responsible enterprises as the main body.
After the brewing in 2016, in 2017, the plant protection drone should “want to fly inâ€.
