According to Mr. Hoang Trung, Director of the Plant Protection Department, the use of drones in pesticide spraying has many advantages compared to traditional methods. Currently, many countries such as China, Japan, Korea … have also applied this technology, especially the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is also interested in and testing this technology in some countries. Africa to control the desert locust epidemic. In recent years, the use of flying equipment in pesticide spraying in our country has become more and more popular. However, there are still many issues that need to be studied when using this device. Photo: TL. With the initiative in the past time, businesses have gone through many channels, imported drones with diverse configurations and capacities … showing the ability to apply this new technology solution quite effectively in pest control. on plants. Later, the drone can also be applied to sowing seeds in the Mekong Delta provinces or to apply foliar fertilizers … In addition to the benefits such as user safety, large capacity, time-saving …, this device also has some issues to be clarified. Accordingly, it is necessary to have a scientific basis, to guide effectively and strictly according to the provisions of law. Currently, there are no official results to confirm that using drones in pesticide spraying helps reduce the amount of pesticides. In the FAO guidelines for use, the drone is still just a tool that must use pesticides in accordance with the dosage stated on the label. In addition, there is the current situation, many places have overstated information and advertising that any crop, any form of medicine can use drones. This is information that has absolutely no scientific basis. The Plant Protection Department recognizes the results from the initiative of enterprises and organizations in researching and applying scientific and technological achievements to production. However, to use it effectively, there is a scientific basis and in accordance with the law. Therefore, in the coming time, it is necessary to have more in-depth and comprehensive studies and evaluations on both the efficiency of use as well as the technical and economic efficiency of the drone. In particular, it is necessary to evaluate the safety level of using drones in pesticide spraying for other objects in the area of ​​use such as aquatic products, bees, etc. In addition, it is necessary to delve into techniques and find out the forms drugs, biological effects can be used appropriately and effectively with drones. Secondly, it is necessary to study plant objects suitable for the use of drones in pesticide spraying. For example, in areas where scattered trees and industrial crops are grown, the use of drones can be said to be ineffective, or as objects on the underside of leaves such as mosquito bugs, anthracnose, etc. Therefore, harmful organisms also need to be evaluated and classified to apply drones appropriately in spraying pesticides. For example, objects lying in the trunk, on the ground, weeds clinging to the base have almost no effect when using a drone. The Department of Plant Protection will also study to provide guidance on the form of drugs to be used with drones. From the perspective of a state management agency, the Department is responsible for clarifying this issue. The use of drones in the past time has been effective and has many advantages on rice, but there have been no scientific studies on other crops. Illustrative photos. Hoang Trung also said that the mechanism of action of the drugs also needs to be evaluated before being used with drones. In addition, it is necessary to evaluate the plant objects and harmful objects that can use drones in spraying effectively. On the other hand, it will be necessary to evaluate and classify according to the capacity and specifications of the drone corresponding to the appropriate crop objects. For example, a large-capacity drone can be suitable for spraying pesticides for rice or some crops, but cannot be used for vegetables because it will destroy the plants… From the above assessments, the goal of the Plant Protection Department is to work with businesses to come up with procedures and documentation for using drones across the country. In addition, the Department will also develop standards for testing pesticides used by drones. Many concerns about the limitations of drones At the meeting, some opinions suggested that there should be more specific and scientific studies in the application of drones in pesticide spraying. According to a representative of the Southern Pesticide Testing Center (Pesticide Department), in order to spray effectively, pesticides must be able to contact the objects that need to be protected or destroyed. However, the use of drones may have many limitations in pesticide spraying such as difficulty in contact with pests and diseases such as brown planthoppers, dry streaks below for rice or thick canopy trees… In addition, the use of drones will use less water than traditional also reduces the effectiveness of the drug. Another problem is that using a drone causes the particles to fall freely but slowly, so it is possible that some of the medicine will evaporate before reaching the leaves. Using a drone with a more concentrated drug concentration than traditional spraying can also cause acute poisoning of plants. In addition, the use of drones will cause waste of pesticides, affecting the ecological environment if used for scattered crops. The Center for Plant Protection in the South (Department of Plant Protection) said that the application of drones in the Mekong Delta is increasingly popular on rice and some fruit trees. Many farmers rate drones as highly effective against pests located at the top of the foliage. The use of drones in pesticide spraying still has many limitations that need to be studied. Photo: TL. However, with trees with uneven heights in the same area such as coconuts, the ability to contact leaves is not optimal because the drone can only fly at a certain stable height that cannot be continuously changed. The height is suitable for each height of the crop, leading to the not equally optimal distance of pesticides to the top of the tree. The Northern Center for Plant Protection also said that it is necessary to study and evaluate the effectiveness of drones and devise ways to use each drug. In addition, there is a need to have scientific assessments of the effects on the environment and plants when using drones to spray pesticides with high concentrations (due to less water). Because normally, the amount of water when spraying pesticides is 400-500 l/ha, while using a drone it is only about 15 l/ha. Mr. Nguyen Quy Duong, Deputy Director of the Plant Protection Department suggested that in the coming time, there should be more assessments on the process and effectiveness of using drones for intercropping areas. According to Mr. Duong, in the Mekong Delta, people now use pre-germination herbicides and except yellow apple snails at the same time, so there is a need for studies on the possibility of using mixed drugs when spraying with drones. In addition, it is necessary to have a baseline standard for testing devices and forms of medicine to come here, it is necessary to clearly state on the drug label the dose used (amount of water) when used with a drone. The Plant Protection Department said that based on the results of businesses and units that have applied drones over the past time, as well as international experience, the Plant Protection Department will develop a master plan to continue researching. Research and perfect both equipment and processes to use in a scientific, safe and most effective way for the application of drones in plant protection. In the immediate future, the Department of Plant Protection suggests that it is necessary to focus on researching and perfecting the drone application process for 5 groups of liquid drugs including EC, SC, SE, SL, ME; 4 groups of solid drugs including WP, SP, WG, GR. Regarding plants, focus on researching and perfecting the process of applying drones to rice (focusing on leaf rollers, brown planthoppers, rice blasts, powdery mildew, herbicides); fall and powdery mildew on corn; aphids, downy mildew on fruit trees (especially citrus, mango, litchi; industrial plants such as coffee, tea, and cashew; caterpillars on pine trees and silkworms on cruciferous vegetables).

Proactive technology In Vietnam, since 2018, many localities have demonstrated the use of MBKNL in fertilizing and spraying pesticides for agricultural production. However, the results of using MBKNL in the field lack the stability, the accuracy of the equipment is not as expected, especially in the context that the current pesticides are mainly used for traditional spraying equipment, with the amount of mixed water many times higher … Facing this situation, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Defense assigned the National Center for Agricultural Promotion (NNNN) to co-ordinate with the Plant Protection Institute, Hoa Lac High Tech Research and Application Institute and its management unit. The Ministry of Defense carried out the task of “Completing the technical process of using unmanned aircraft (UAV) – HLD18 spraying pesticides on rice plants”. Close-up of the HLD18 drone and the field of Truc Hung commune (Truc Ninh, Nam Dinh) – where the demonstration of aircraft spraying pesticides. Photo: MN Close-up of unmanned HLD18. “If we use the manual method to spray pesticides a day, 3 people can only spray 20 samples. But now with this aircraft, we no longer have the trouble of spraying pesticides, the productivity is significantly increased.” . Farmer Nguyen Van Phong (Truc Hung commune, Truc Ninh district, Nam Dinh) Mr. Le Quoc Thanh – Director of VNA, said that this device is made in Vietnam, so we have complete mastery of technology, software, hardware and warranty, training “pilot” to transfer to units, cooperation groups, agricultural services … Especially HLD18 equipment ensures security and defense as well as the issue of licensing flight zones for equipment. To evaluate the results of the trial using MBKNL HLD18 to spray pesticides on rice plants, VNA recently held a demonstration conference on using MBKNL HLD18 in Truc Ninh district, Nam Dinh province. In the experimental field, the participants and farmers witnessed the “pilots” in the flight control technology demonstration service group HLD18 spraying pesticides with different flight speeds at different formulas. Experimental results show that using HLD18 aircraft helps to reduce 5% of the input pesticide, and 5-10% of water. The use of airplanes helps to control rice diseases effectively by quickly suppressing epidemics and saves time for pest management, and at the same time reduces rice yield loss by 1-2% / ha compared to spraying pine usually because rice is not trampled during the spraying process. The amount of pesticides sprayed by MBKNL on the soil and water at the initial stage of rice plant development has not changed compared with the traditional method. However, to a later period, the amount of pesticides on rice plants is higher due to the decrease of spraying in the environment. The working capacity of an aircraft HLD 18 ranges from 10-20ha / day. Replication At the seminar, Mr. Le Quoc Thanh – Director of NTPPR shared: “From practice, the biggest effect of the model is to isolate farmers from pesticides, thereby helping to protect people’s health and The machine helps to increase working efficiency, not to be afraid of the terrain, save water and drugs, and increase production efficiency “. Farmers and delegates visited the rice growing model using HLD18 drones in Truc Hung commune (Truc Ninh, Nam Dinh) Also at the conference, VNA awarded certificates to 18 trainees trained to control MBKNL HLD18. In addition to the above advantages, through the specialized agency model, the operator is also trained to use MBKNL equipment to serve farmers. The initial achieved results will serve as the basis for Nam Dinh province in particular and the Red River delta provinces to organize the replication, contributing to increase the rate of technology use in the field. As a unit with more than 700ha of area for cultivating hybrid rice varieties, Mr. Lam Van Chieu – Deputy Director of Cuong Tan Co., Ltd. (Truc Ninh, Nam Dinh) said, Cuong Tan is the coordinator of the project NN- 08II. In the process of implementing the project, the company sent staff to participate in the control engineering class MBKNL HLD18. “After more than 10 school days, trainees have been practicing directly on the rice fields of Cuong Tan Co., Ltd. and up to now, it can be said that the basic techniques of controlling MBKNL HLD18 to spray pesticides have been proficient “- Mr. Chieu shared. Also at the conference, TTKNQG handed over to Hai Duong Agricultural Extension Center and Cuong Tan Co., Ltd., each unit 3 MBKNL HLD18 for application of pesticide spraying in rice production. Ms. Pham Thi Dao – Director of Hai Duong Agricultural Extension Center said, Hai Duong currently has about 115,000 hectares of rice cultivation. The average rice yield is 745,000 tons / year. With the handover of HLD18 aircraft by VNA, this will be an incentive for farmers to be able to efficiently produce rice, reduce labor, limit exposure to pesticides while ensuring productivity.

The mystery of the global drone giant DJI’s “car building” has surfaced. At the Shanghai Auto Show that opened on April 19, in addition to the hotly debated rights protection of Tesla owners and the explosive Huawei autopilot, DJI also showed its muscles in autopilot. But unlike Huawei’s call for the absolute number one autonomous driving technology, DJI’s layout in this new field is still as low-key as its founder.

Compared with Huawei and Baidu, which bet on L4 autonomous driving, DJI Automotive is taking a road of “upgrading and fighting monsters”. It gradually advances from L2, L2+ to L3 and L4, which are more difficult to land, which is pragmatic and conservative. Some insiders told Sohu Technology that DJI will not forcefully pursue high-level autonomous driving technology, and will pay more attention to the continuity of the scene.

There is no doubt that the track of autonomous driving is large enough and competition will become more and more fierce, but it will still take time for large-scale commercialization to land. With the emergence of a ceiling in the drone market, DJI’s new battle for outward expansion has just begun.

From drone to smart car

In recent years, news of DJI’s entry into autonomous driving and even car-making has been reported from time to time, but DJI has never let go of it. Until recently, on April 12, DJI officially released its intelligent driving business brand DJI Automotive. But DJI is not about building cars, but researching, producing and selling intelligent driving systems and their core components.

Sohu Technology learned from DJI insiders that DJI has established a pre-research team since 2016 to study whether DJI’s proven space intelligence technologies (sensing, positioning, decision-making, navigation, control, etc.) on drones can be applied. In a broader field, the direction of smart cars will be determined at the end of 2016. In mid-2017, the software and hardware of the on-board system will be initialized after R&D and experiments, and it will enter the formal development stage.

In 2018, DJI obtained the first batch of test licenses for intelligent connected vehicles in Shenzhen, and began to conduct normalized and large-scale tests. In 2019, DJI officially established an automotive business unit to clarify the positioning of DJI’s automotive brand and Tier 1 supplier (Tier 1). In December of the same year, the first automotive-grade intelligent manufacturing center was built, and technology began to transform into products.

It can be said that DJI is one of the first technology companies in the world to enter the research and development of autonomous driving. “But even if it has cooperated with car companies, it is still in a state of confidentiality. Most of the colleagues in the company are not aware of the existence of DJI Vehicles.” The aforementioned DJI insider said.

After five years of low-key layout, DJI’s automotive team currently has 700 people, including more than 500 core R&D personnel, 87% of which are masters and doctors, and has more than 1,000 patents in the automotive field. According to public data, DJI has invested more than 4 billion yuan in research and development in the fields of chips, sensors, lidar, and vehicle-assisted driving systems.

From the point of view, DJI can be regarded as catching up with the wave of intelligent autos. The chaos of the market has begun, and it is still expected to get a share of the pie. It is understood that at present, DJI’s in-vehicle business mainly launches 7 solutions with different configurations for smart driving and smart parking.

Specifically, it includes intelligent driving D80/D80+ covering the speed range of 0 to 80 km/h, suitable for urban expressways; intelligent driving D130/D130+ covering the speed range of 0 to 130 km/h, suitable for expressways and urban rapids road. Intelligent parking includes three scenarios: assisted parking, memory parking for the last 100 meters, and autonomous parking for the last 1 km. The corresponding solutions are P5, P100 and P1000.

From the perspective of perception configuration, D80 is equipped with 1 camera, 5 millimeter wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, D130 is equipped with 6 cameras, 5 millimeter wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, and is equipped with driving behavior recognition early warning cameras (DMS). It can then support the driver to get rid of it. At the same time, without upgrading the hardware, the D80 and D130 can open assisted driving functions for unstructured roads in urban areas.

D80+ and D130+ are equivalent to the Plus version of D80 and D130. Among them, D80+ adds 5 cameras and a set of lidar based on the D80 sensing solution, and D130+ adds 1 camera and a set of lidar on the basis of D130, both It can support the driver to take his eyes off.

In the smart parking scenario, the three solutions launched by DJI are equipped with 5 cameras, 1 millimeter wave radar and 12 ultrasonic radars. The main difference lies in whether it is equipped with lidar; among them, P1000 needs to be equipped with lidar, which can achieve medium-length Distance autonomous parking and autonomous calling.

Focus on L2+ and L3

From the perspective of DJI’s layout, for the industry’s controversial autonomous driving technology route, DJI did not choose to stand in line. Instead, it placed bets on pure vision and lidar-led routes. OEMs can choose according to their own needs. It is similar to the technical route strategy adopted by Baidu.

In the field of intelligent driving, the outside world often divides the technical level of enterprises by the level of autonomous driving. However, Xie Tiandi, director of public relations at DJI, told Sohu Technology that DJI has not tested or released a plan based on the SAE (International Society of Automata Engineers) classification of autonomous driving.

He believes that SAE is actually a hierarchical model based on “responsibility division”. This is not a sufficient condition to measure the autonomous driving system. There are many tracks covered by autonomous driving, and the difficulty, investment, scene, and market size of each track , Business models are different, and the constraints are also different. It is very inadequate to use the simple classification of L0-L5 to talk about the entire industry.

However, Sohu Technology has noticed that in the intelligent driving and intelligent parking system function tables announced by DJI, the automatic driving level is indicated. For example, intelligent driving D80 and D130 correspond to L2+ level automatic driving, and D80+ and D130+ correspond to Level 3, smart parking covers levels L2, L2+/L3, and L4. In this regard, DJI said that as a solution provider, it provides functional expectations, but the actual installation will still be customized and rated according to the needs of the host manufacturer.

It can also be seen that DJI is currently focusing on L2+ and L3 autonomous driving, while Huawei and Baidu have all launched L4 autonomous driving solutions and are accelerating commercial progress. However, some media reports said that there is actually a team in the DJI vehicle team that is engaged in cutting-edge R&D for L4 autonomous driving technology.

In fact, DJI adopts the ODD (designed operating area) technical strategy for autonomous driving functions and scenarios. The more continuous the ODD, the smoother the functions will be used. For example, D80/D80+, D130/D130+ have specific speed and area restrictions, and the smart parking solution is also aimed at scenes at different distances.

“A reasonable solution for autonomous driving requires facing reality on the one hand and not directly pursuing the so-called high level of technology. If the continuity of some scenes is difficult to achieve, the driver should be led instead of outputting poor automatic driving. Experience, this is better than the experience and safety that people think that the car can drive automatically, but have to stare at any time and take over at any time.” The aforementioned DJI insider said, but on the other hand, it must be “hard and rigid”. When the car enters a scene where the continuity of autonomous driving can be pursued, the continuity needs to be improved to the extreme, so that consumers can truly get the liberation of attention.

This is also DJI’s technical thinking. Only an autonomous driving system that balances the matrix of functional experience, safety, and cost can have the conditions to talk about advancement. To this end, DJI has also self-developed and produced a number of core components, including monocular and binocular cameras, DMS, domain controllers and their middleware, and driving behavior recognition and early warning systems. The company’s engineer team currently has 200 people.

However, DJI is not fully All-in. For example, the lidar is provided by Lanwo Technology. This is a lidar company incubated internally by DJI. Last year, it launched two products for L3/L4 autonomous driving at a price of only It is 6499 yuan and 9000 yuan, which has obvious cost advantages compared with other lidars that cost tens of thousands or even more than 100,000. It has been mass-produced and launched in Xiaopeng Motors.

In addition, satellite navigation systems and high-precision maps are also provided by suppliers. It can be seen that, while ensuring reliability, DJI’s in-vehicle solution intends to reduce dependence on external data sources such as high-cost sensors, V2X infrastructure, and high-precision maps. This is different from Huawei’s layout, and it also determines the different business strategies of the two.

Mass production will be launched within the year

DJI Intelligent Driving has a clear timetable for commercialization. Sohu Technology has learned from DJI that the D80 and D130 are expected to be mass-produced this year, while the D80+ and D130+ will have to wait until 2024; the P100 will be mass-produced next year. Compared with Huawei, Baidu, and new automakers, the process has been much slower.

At the Shanghai Auto Show, DJI also officially announced its first partner, which will join hands with SAIC-GM-Wuling to create “people’s intelligent driving”. The intelligent driving solution provided by DJI Automotive will be the first to be applied to BAOJUN brand models under SAIC-GM-Wuling, and will be mass-produced and launched within the year.

It is understood that the cooperation between the two parties is not a parts procurement model, but is based on a large number of R&D tests and road tests to jointly promote the implementation of a complete set of intelligent driving systems. This also means that DJI Automotive has taken a key step towards commercialization, and Volkswagen is also cooperating with DJI. Volkswagen Group (China) CEO Feng Sihan disclosed for the first time at the beginning of the year that it is cooperating with DJI in the field of visual information processing to develop autonomous driving based on various road scenes, and plans to carry it on the car from 2023 to 2024.

Xie Tiandi told Sohu Technology that DJI Automotive will be open to the entire automotive industry and will not distinguish or exclude the low-end and high-end markets. But in terms of specific strategies, at least for now, DJI has adopted a way of advancing from low-end to high-end autonomous driving, and low-end brands to mid-to-high end. The landing of high-level autonomous driving will take longer to verify, and commercialization will be more difficult. The consulting company Gartner reported that it will take more than 10 years for L4 autonomous driving technology to fully mature.

However, some people believe that DJI is somewhat conservative. Although it may become a strong opponent of Huawei, it has not shown similar ambitions. However, the more critical issue at present is how can DJI persuade more car companies to adopt its own autonomous driving program when the process is somewhat backward.

At the same time, this is also an extremely critical step for DJI, which has a bottleneck in the drone market, which means whether it can create a second growth curve after drones.

In the past decade or so, DJI has gradually become a global drone giant, occupying more than 80% of the global market share and ranking first among global civilian drone companies. However, after announcing that its revenue reached nearly 17.6 billion yuan in 2017, DJI has not released any performance data. Public information shows that its performance growth rate in the first half of last year has dropped from over 60% to 30%.

At the same time, DJI is also facing the unfavorable situation of intensified competition and external suppression, and there has been no obvious breakthrough in the application of drones in the industry. DJI founder Wang Tao said as early as 2016 that the consumer drone market is about to be saturated, and DJI’s revenue will reach 20 billion yuan and it will peak, but this revenue is difficult to support DJI’s US$10 billion valuation.

This may have also greatly promoted DJI’s determination to deploy autonomous driving early. Obviously, it also values ​​the prospects of this track-with a trillion-scale potential, and China is expected to become the world’s largest autonomous driving market. DJI’s expansion under anxiety is somewhat similar to Huawei, whose mobile phone business was reluctantly suppressed and started selling cars.

In addition, for DJI, whose public valuation has reached 100 billion yuan, new stories are also needed to support future valuations. Investors have repeatedly urged DJI to go public. DJI has been listed on the market many times before, but DJI has never recognized it.

At the Shanghai Auto Show, Wang Yunpeng, general manager of Baidu’s Autonomous Driving Technology Department, said in an interview: “Our bragging rights have become cool afterwards.” For this new wave of car intelligence that has just kicked off, various new The gathering of old forces, how capable the low-key DJI can be, and whether it can replicate its status as a giant in the field of drones requires more verification.

With modern air defense systems, dealing with such UAVs is both extremely difficult and very expensive. REX-1 electromagnetic gun. (Source: Top War) To deal with small pulse and reconnaissance UAVs, Russia is developing specialized equipment such as the Kalashnikov Military Technical Corporation’s REX-series electric guns or special anti-air missiles being developed by engineers of the Russian Nuclear Center. In 2015, Kalashnikov Military Engineering Corporation acquired a stake in drone maker ZALA Aero to develop unmanned technology and anti-UAV weapons. This group is working to develop electronic warfare systems focusing on fighting against modern UAVs. Among them are two models of non-lethal weapons REX-1 and REX-2 that appeared at military technical exhibitions. REX-1 electromagnetic gun In terms of parameters and weight, the REX-1 electromagnetic gun is compact in size, comparable to modern automatic weapons. According to the manufacturer, the weight of REX-1 reaches 4.5 kg, built-in battery backup, ensures 3 hours operation. The main mission of the REX-1 is to protect critical facilities and enclosed areas from intrusive drone vehicles. This is especially important because modern air defense systems are not always guaranteed to destroy UAVs, and detecting small drones using conventional electronic reconnaissance means is difficult. towel. According to the Kalashnikov Group, REX-1 can interfere with the signals of the US GPS satellite navigation system, the BeiDou of China, the European Galileo or the Russian GLONASS within a radius of 5 km. In addition, at a distance of 1 km, REX-1 can block LTE, 3G, GSM signals, interfering with the running frequencies: 900 Mhz, 2.4 GHz, 5.2-5.8 GHz. Thanks to these capabilities, the REX-1 is able to neutralize enemy drones without causing physical harm. Besides, controlling the REX-1 is quite simple. In addition, the REX-1 is equipped with additional lights, target indicators and various points of view. REX-2 electromagnetic gun In the framework of the Army International Forum 2019, the new version REX-2 launched has been rated by many military experts as the world’s most compact anti-drone gun. The main advantage of the REX-2 is its compact size and light weight. If the original design REX-1 weighed approximately 4.2-4.5 kg, the weight of the non-lethal REX-2 was only about 3 kg and the length should not exceed 500mm. According to the developers, the REX-2 is designed to disable all types of UAVs, including optical devices used on the ground or underwater. The lighter and smaller version of this device effectively overwhelms the signal of the satellite navigation systems within a radius of 2km. The REX-2 works by suppressing radio and satellite navigation signals – technology used in the operation of most modern UAVs. The REX-2 developer wants this new weapon to be able to counter a wide variety of targets since their components are interchangeable, as well as tailored to suit missions. Specifically. Antidrone jet rockets Last March, the sheet Izvestia reported that the experts of the Russian Federal Nuclear Center are developing high-speed anti-drone equipment with jet missiles (antidrone). The antidrone missile consists of the missile hull, a target guidance system and a net-trap container (nets with dumbbells in corners). Missiles carrying “mesh bullets” shoot directly to the enemy’s drones, then open the net, ensuring to capture and disable the UAV. However, experts say, similar UAV trap projects in Russia are not effective enough to intercept high-speed vehicles when performing complex aerial maneuvers. According to the news agency RIA Novosti In order to intercept UAVs with mesh bullets, the antidrone missiles need to be adjusted to launch a network of traps at a predetermined rate. The process above will take steps and be difficult as high-speed targets can quickly get out of range of the device. (According to Top War)

In order to strengthen management and control, Hangzhou Xiaoshan Police deployed an unmanned aerial vehicle low-altitude defense early warning platform to guard the safety of the area above its jurisdiction.

At about 12:45 on April 21, the platform received an early warning. There was a drone flying near Hongda Road in Xiaoshan Economic and Technological Development Zone (airport no-fly zone). The PTU and UAV squad of the Xiaoshan District Public Security Bureau quickly went to the scene for investigation and found a flying UAV on the spot.

UAV seized at the scene

After investigation, this drone is owned by an advertising company in Hangzhou, and the drone has been cracked illegally. The company was invited by a developer to shoot an advertising video for its community.

At noon that day, company employee Sun (male, 33 years old, from Yuhang, with a civil drone pilot certificate) used a DJI Wu 2 drone to shoot in the community. He was immediately seized by the police and taken to the north of the city. The police station asked further.

The police asked Sun

At the police station, the person in charge and employees of the company told the police that due to the previous commercial shooting needs, there was a fluke mentality and did not correctly recognize the seriousness of the “black fly”. Now that the mistake is deeply recognized, the company will actively reflect on, abide by the regulations, and take drone shots within the flight range permitted by law.

Due to violation of Article 18 of the “Provisions on the Public Safety Management of Unmanned Aircraft in Zhejiang Province”, the Xiaoshan police eventually imposed a fine of 20,000 yuan on the advertising company in accordance with the law.

I would like to remind everyone that drones should implement a real-name registration management system in accordance with national regulations. If they need to fly over important units, facilities, and places related to public safety, they should report to the flight control department for approval in accordance with the law and report to the local public security agency for the record. If the drone needs to take off, land, or fly within the no-fly time and no-fly zone, it should be reported to the public security organ for approval in advance. (Qianjiang Evening News)
