"Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) +" Applications Take Off in Multiple Dimensions, Lianyungang's Low-Altitude Economy Poised for Growth

Recently, UAVs equipped with thermal imaging cameras have been officially put into use for forest fire prevention patrols in the Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area. By completing multiple inspection routes in just half a day, the density and efficiency of patrols have been significantly enhanced, truly lightening the burden on grassroots personnel. This is just a microcosm of the application of our city's low-altitude economy. Currently, low-altitude application scenarios in our city are becoming increasingly diversified. In urban governance, departments such as city management, traffic police, emergency response, water conservancy, and others have widely applied UAVs to river inspection, illegal construction monitoring, and construction site patrols, presenting a new pattern of "UAVs +" applications taking off in multiple dimensions to promote the high-quality development of the port city's low-altitude economy.

As a strategic emerging industry, the low-altitude economy exhibits distinct characteristics of new productive forces, including high technology, high efficiency, and high quality. At present, with the gradual advancement of our city's low-altitude infrastructure construction and the steady improvement of low-altitude support capabilities, low-altitude economic application scenarios are gradually expanding. Applications such as UAVs + urban governance, UAVs + power line inspection, UAVs + cultural tourism, and UAVs + logistics have great potential and are developing rapidly. To promote the innovative development of Lianyungang's low-altitude economy, Lianyungang Mobile has specifically established a "Low-Altitude Flight" Party Member Vanguard Team, fully leveraging their exemplary role to deeply integrate UAV technology with practical application scenarios.

Fully tap into "low-altitude cultural tourism" and present a new way to experience the port city from an "aerial perspective". During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Snake, a light show performed by hundreds of UAVs lit up the night sky of Lianyungang Garden Expo Park, eliciting thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd. People were deeply captivated by the dazzling lights on site. Similarly, at Donghai Xishuang Lake, a light show performed by 500 UAVs for tourists and local residents made the Spring Festival of the Year of the Snake even more lively, with a strong sense of smart cultural tourism. "During the Spring Festival, over 10,000 people watched the UAV performance at the Garden Expo Park, and over 80,000 people watched online. It can be said that the participation of UAVs has already demonstrated its role in boosting the development of the cultural tourism industry," said Yue Jian, a member of the Party Member Vanguard Team.

Actively explore and develop public service application scenarios, rely on computing power models to strengthen data collection, organization, analysis, and application, and empower administrative efficiency with "low-altitude +". "We have collaborated with the mobile company to innovatively utilize technologies such as UAV intelligent inspection, AI image analysis, and early warning information models to build a 'people-defense + technology-defense' 'air-ground integrated' three-dimensional prevention and control system, assisting Taolin Town in carrying out grassroots governance work in a refined manner," said the relevant person in charge of Taolin Town, Donghai County, when discussing accelerating governance through low-altitude technology. In fact, based on the good application results of UAVs in grassroots governance in Taolin Town, the diversified application scenarios of "low-altitude + social grassroots governance" are also radiating from townships to the entire city. "Starting from November of last year, we began planning and constructing UAV container facilities and have initially formed a scale effect. On the one hand, through the Flight Service Center, we scientifically plan UAV flight routes and tasks, effectively saving government resources and reducing the difficulty of use; on the other hand, we can make good use of the data obtained from each flight, distribute it to different departments after algorithm screening, and assist in better carrying out social governance work," said Zhou (surname), the person in charge of the Low-Altitude Flight Service Center of Lianyungang Mobile.

Develop "low-altitude logistics", cultivate and create new formats such as intercity flights and UAV delivery, and build a convenient and efficient three-dimensional logistics system for collection and distribution. In recent years, scenarios such as Meituan UAV food delivery and UAV medical supply transportation have emerged one after another. As an important development direction of the low-altitude economy, our city is also accelerating the demonstration and implementation of UAV logistics applications, creating an operation mode that suits the actual situation of Lianyungang, and better serving the economic and social development of the port city by establishing low-altitude medical delivery routes and low-altitude express delivery modes.
