Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an unmanned aerial vehicle, which is mainly controlled by radio remote control or its own program. From 1908, the world's first unmanned aerial vehicle came out, with a history of 100 years. With the progress of science and technology, UAV has gradually developed into an important part of national defense equipment in all countries, especially in developed countries.
Uavs can be divided into military and civilian according to their application fields. On the military side, drones are divided into reconnaissance planes and target planes. In terms of civilian use, UAV+industrial application is the real demand of UAV; At the same time, due to the inherent advantages of drones, they have also been widely used in the civilian field in recent years.
At present, the application of UAV in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro-selfie, express transportation, disaster relief, observation of wild animals, monitoring of infectious diseases, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspection, disaster relief, film and television shooting, romantic creation and other fields has greatly expanded the use of UAV itself, and developed countries are also actively expanding their industrial applications and developing UAV technology.
What is the market prospect of drones?
It is precisely because of the huge potential of the UAV civilian market that, in addition to some research institutes, private enterprises have also begun to intervene in the UAV market. At present, it is roughly estimated that there are about 500 units in the country producing drones. At present, the production cost of a UAV system ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. This is also a reason why many manufacturers take a fancy to the market prospect of drones.
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has many advantages, such as relatively low cost, no risk of casualties, strong survivability, good maneuverability and convenient use, which makes it have a very broad application prospect in the fields of airplane model industry, aerial photography, ocean monitoring, meteorological detection, urban fire protection, agricultural and forestry operations, forest fire prevention, drug control and emergency rescue.
Lack of drone professionals
At the beginning of the new century, the development of UAV has entered a new era. New types of UAVs with advanced technology, different performances and wide applications are constantly emerging. The development of unmanned aerial vehicles in China is very fast, and the related demand increases sharply. Many units that produce and equip drones are short of control talents, but there are few institutions in China that can systematically train drone operators. According to a preliminary estimate, China will need 200,000 UAV operators and maintenance personnel in 20 18.
At present, there are nearly 10 thousand "flying hands" engaged in drone flight in China, of which only a few hundred have driver's licenses. The annual salary of professional flying hands is generally 6.5438+0.5 million yuan, and the highest annual salary of top flying hands can reach 500,000 yuan.
What are the jobs for graduates majoring in UAV in secondary vocational schools?
UAV system maintenance technician, system integration technician, aided design technician, assembly technician, UAV flying hand, equipment maintenance technician, after-sales service technician and other positions, the monthly income after graduation is generally 4000- 10000 yuan.
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology "named" support
As a new technology, UAV control technology plays a unique role in various industries.
In 20 15, the Ministry of Education announced the addition of "UAV Application Technology" (professional code 5606 10).
In 20 17, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Guiding Opinions on Promoting and Regulating the Development of Civil UAV Manufacturing Industry, clearly pointing out that it supports qualified ordinary universities and vocational colleges to set up UAV specialty. The Opinions emphasize innovation-driven, carry out technological innovation at the three levels of product, industry and safety, improve the safety technology level of civil drones, promote the construction of a unified management and control platform, establish and improve the standard system and testing and certification system, and promote the healthy and orderly development of China's civil drone manufacturing industry. By 2020, the civil UAV industry will continue to develop rapidly, and the output value will reach 60 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 40%. By 2025, the output value of civil drones will reach 654.38+08 billion yuan.
In 20 19, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security plans to release 15 new jobs, among which are drone pilots. In recent years, the state has also encouraged universities to carry out "double innovation", "intelligent manufacturing" and "Industry 4.0". The introduction of these national policies has sent a signal to colleges and universities to set up drone majors.
