There is no clear provision for the approval of unmanned aircraft

The drone fire, but more and more problems lie ahead.

When the drone is no longer limited to military use, it has evolved in a variety of shapes, sizes, and shipments. At this year's Las Vegas CES, the reporters saw a number of commercial drones from vendors around the world, including the large, rugged drones used by Amazon to express, and less than 150 dollars of toy mini drones.

However, despite the growing number of industry applications, the cloud that hangs over the drone industry is an inconclusive set of laws and regulations related to drone regulation and standards.

There is no clear provision for take-off and approval

In recent days, Taobao with the use of unmanned aircraft to send Express news on the Internet, in fact, in the second day, a small number of involved in the control of the aircraft will be held, the theme is to investigate the incident Taobao, and clear the responsibility of the UAV related units, during the Beijing Air Force, civil aviation, municipal Public Security Corps, News office, China AOPA, express industry representatives have participated in the discussion.

According to the contents of the meeting, the Security corps has identified the "flying process" of the day and pointed out that there are unsafe factors for this behavior. The Beijing Air Force said it was unaware of the incident because the flight did not apply for flight activity and "does not conform" to the current requirement for drone flight control requirements.

The flight supervision of unmanned aerial vehicles is still in a vague stage at the present low altitude. According to the China Civil Aviation Authority June 26, 2009 issued the "Civil UAV air traffic management measures", stipulates that "organizations and individuals who organize the operation of civilian drones shall apply for the establishment and use of airspace, the management of flight activities and air traffic services in accordance with the provisions of the general aviation flight Control Regulations", which also means that Civilian drone flight should be included in the category of general aviation, but no one to carry out day-to-day flight, in the end what needs to go through the approval process is not clear.

2013 UAV driver files are relatively specific, the UAV divided into four types of micro-light, the isolation and integration of various UAV pilots management, and on April 30, 2014, will be operating in the visual range of the UAV, except the micro-aircraft, The quality management of UAV pilots operating beyond visual range in isolated airspace was handed to China AOPA.

The Chinese aopa mentioned above, the full name of the Chinese Aircraft Owners and Drivers Association, is the Civil Aviation Authority is authorized to manage the relevant industry agencies. Aopa An insider told reporters that at present, the relevant application process for drone flight is being developed, is expected to be introduced this year, and even if the relevant provisions issued, the follow-up whether there is sufficient manpower supervision, is still unknown.

In the United States, surveillance of drones is also a headache. The 2012 Congress passed a motion calling for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to improve the management of non-military drones by 2015 years ago, but it was not until last year that the drone navigation began to be relaxed. Last September, the FAA allowed the film and video industry to use drones, and later, companies in real estate imaging, agricultural monitoring and aerial surveys and oil fields were licensed.

E-commerce giant Amazon even wants to seek help from the US government to get permission to launch drone tests in the United States. In a letter to the FAA, the company said Amazon had been conducting a flight test indoors and in other countries because of restrictions on the use of drones in the United States. Many companies believe that if the United States does not launch the rules of drone commercial flight as soon as possible, it will fall behind other countries in the tens of billions of-dollar unmanned aircraft market.

Lack of technical standard for capital flocking

Despite the regulatory provisions are not clear, but the market for the UAV's capital, even listed companies are not a few.

Capital market, the main coal mine, building materials machinery Shandong Mining Machine (002526.SZ) has announced an investment of 41 million yuan, with Zhuhai Xingyu Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. Zhang Senior engineer joint venture to form a light multi-purpose short take-off and landing UAV Manufacturing company, and casting and forging manufacturers Tong Yu Heavy Industry (300185.SZ) Also announced that its sun Changzhou hedge metallurgical Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and the 27th Institute of China Electronics Technology Group will be in the unmanned aerial vehicle development and manufacture, the machine and unmanned aerial vehicle system application and so on project cooperation. In addition, many private enterprises began to work with universities or research institutes to carry out unmanned aerial vehicle development, investment billion.

Style shares (601700.SH) is one of them. March 2013, with Polytechnical Changshu Research Institute Co., Ltd., Changshu United Model Co., Ltd. and natural persons jointly funded the formation of joint ventures, of which the style shares accounted for 40% of shares, is relatively the largest shareholder, but also the only shareholder has no experience in the UAV related companies. Prior to this, Northwestern has been involved in the development of military drones in the technology and experience, Zhang Wei is the leader in this field, and Changshu United Model Co., Ltd. in the composite materials and unmanned aircraft shell manufacturing field for many years.

According to the latest news from the style of the reporter, the company developed unmanned aircraft, has been sold to the Changshu Public Security Bureau to carry out daily patrol work, as well as a company in Shandong to carry out the training of unmanned aircraft, the company is also working with the National Grid and other old customers to explore the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to complete the high-voltage power of the patrol line.

However, in the style of shares, the civilian drone market, in addition to regulatory standards vague, the current state has not yet formed the authoritative technical quality standards, which to a certain extent also pulled down the domestic civil drone competition threshold. "For example, some model aircraft production enterprises through the purchase of flight control system, ' upgrade ' for the UAV manufacturing enterprises, such enterprises do not have their own core technology, the manufacture of unmanned aerial vehicles in the endurance and other indicators and performance is difficult to ensure, but also began to occupy a certain market." ”

This seems to have created another problem, what should we do when technological development and innovation clash with the existing system? "The new technological revolution is not only a baptism of innovative ability, but also a test of science and technology policy." "The Chinese Academy of Engineering has made an appeal on this issue, the government in the Independent Innovation technology landing and application areas to actively take, strengthen support and coordination, to improve the incentive mechanism, improve the policy environment, for enterprises to continue the independent innovation escort, rather than beat."
