On June 20, Guangzhou's Haizhu District successfully completed China's first low-altitude air route safety test using a drone equipped with advanced communication, navigation, and monitoring systems.
The test assessed critical factors such as signal coverage, navigation accuracy, electromagnetic interference, weather, and obstacles along the planned flight paths.
Conducted by Guangdong Low-Altitude Economy Development Co. in collaboration with local and industry partners, the three-stage evaluation included route design validation, infrastructure performance testing, and real-time monitoring for dynamic flight adjustments. This comprehensive approach identifies coverage gaps and sources of interference, guiding targeted infrastructure improvements and cost savings.
The Haizhu District aims to leverage these results and findings to accelerate the development of a digital low-altitude network, targeting a 15 billion yuan economy by 2027, with multiple permanent drone sites and demonstration projects.
