Experts: The integration of air, land, and intelligent networks will boost the low-altitude economy to "fly high."
"Low altitude is not a blank space in the sky, but a strategic space in the digital age," said Academician Wu Yirong of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on March 28. Through the deep integration of cutting-edge technologies such as low-altitude clouds, 6G, and satellite internet, an integrated low-altitude intelligent network can be constructed to more comprehensively meet the needs of the low-altitude industry. Drone "flash delivery," "flying" commuting, low-altitude intelligent inspections... As the low-altitude economy flourishes, the sky below 1,000 meters is becoming increasingly busy. However, how to navigate and manage the "roads" in low altitude requires more precise low-altitude perception and intelligent scheduling systems. At the 2025 Star Map Low Altitude Cloud Development Conference held that day, Wu Yirong stated that aviation flight routes are three-dimensional, and the complexity of navigation and scheduling is one dimension more than ground travel. Relying on capabilities such as space-based satellites, big data, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing, a smart brain can be built for comprehensive low-altitude perception, intelligent scheduling, and collaborative management, providing high-precision support for real-time monitoring and early warning scheduling of low-altitude flight activities. On that day, a low-altitude intelligent flight application platform named GEOVIS iFlight was also launched. This platform integrates scheduling, control, application, and operation, and can connect to multiple low-altitude application scenarios, providing standardized services such as aerial photography collection, intelligent inspections, and logistics distribution
