Guangxi Launches Key Technical Research on Territorial Spatial Low-Altitude Airspace Planning

Recently, the Department of Natural Resources of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has initiated a ministry-provincial cooperation project on key technical research for the compilation of territorial spatial low-altitude airspace planning. The project aims to address issues such as unclear ownership of low-altitude airspace, lack of document support for planning compilation, and insufficient coordination between ground space and low-altitude space in usage, with a view to building a "ground-low altitude" three-dimensional space coordinated development application demonstration zone.

 

The key technical research on territorial spatial low-altitude airspace planning carried out this time includes the refined division of low-altitude airspace resources, the planning of efficient low-altitude route networks, and the improvement of the utilization efficiency of low-altitude airspace resources. The department will take real-scene 3D as the unified spatiotemporal data base, with Nanning City as a pilot. By sorting out and analyzing various laws and regulations issued by relevant management entities, it will study and propose corresponding low-altitude airspace division methods from the perspective of territorial spatial planning compilation and usage, and initially construct a trinity architecture of "3D base + low-altitude planning + low-altitude usage".

 

At the same time, it will clarify application scenarios, establish an air-ground coordinated planning and usage system, and develop a low-altitude airspace service platform. Based on the supply-demand relationship between the ground and low altitude as the basic logic, it will focus on application scenarios and the needs of ground economic and social development to carry out coordination and planning of spatial resources. Through the integrated management of functions such as airspace division, flight approval, monitoring and surveillance, data processing, low-altitude planned route systems, and navigation, it will realize the interconnection and efficient utilization of real-scene 3D data resources, break the restriction of exclusive airspace by different types of aircraft, empower the take-off of the low-altitude economy with scientific and technological strength, and provide convenient data services for all parties.

 

The low-altitude airspace service platform will effectively promote various application scenarios of "real-scene 3D + low-altitude economy". For example, in supporting "low altitude + emergency rescue", through new basic surveying and mapping technologies, scientific route planning and precise delivery of rescue materials will empower the emergency rescue system and greatly improve rescue efficiency; in enabling "low altitude + fire fighting", drones will transport fire extinguishing bombs to the scene for fire fighting, realize real-time perception of fire situation and dynamic allocation of fire fighting resources, effectively cover the rescue range, and greatly improve the utilization rate and accessibility of urban fire fighting resources; in the application of "low-altitude economy + logistics", drones will deliver express packages continuously at any time, making full use of real-scene 3D models to provide data element support for the calibration, quantification, and analysis of low-altitude airspace.

 

In addition, the application prospects are extremely broad in supporting "low-altitude economy + agriculture" and promoting "low-altitude economy + tourism". By replacing manual low-altitude pesticide spraying with plant protection drones, it can reduce the burden on farmers and increase land efficiency; the establishment of an air-ground coordinated airspace usage system allows tourists to take planes to overlook lakes and mountains, enjoy different scenery, and meet new tourism consumption demands.
