In recent years, low-altitude economy, as an emerging economic form, has risen rapidly under the dual promotion of policies and technologies, which is of great significance to regional economic development and the improvement of public service levels. The Economic Reference News reporter noticed that nearly 20 listed companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Board have made forward-looking arrangements for the low-altitude economic industrial chain. On April 30, three science and technology innovation companies, Narui Radar, Rice Information and Zongheng Co., Ltd., exchanged industry trends, corporate development and future plans with investors at the performance briefing of the "Science and Technology Innovation Hot Industry Week", and stated that they will inject new impetus into the development of the low-altitude economy.

  Adhere to technological innovation to build core competitiveness

  As a gathering place for "hard technology" forces, companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Board actively participate in the new low-altitude economy track, making every effort to build an independent and controllable technology system, enrich product layout, and empower downstream fields such as agriculture, forestry and plant protection, power inspection, etc.

  Ren Bin, chairman of Zongheng Co., Ltd., said that the company has accelerated the iteration of the JOS-C700 vertical take-off and landing fixed wing and JOS-C200 multi-rotor unmanned system in the field of intelligent equipment, integrating AI independent decision-making algorithms and edge computing modules to realize multi-machine collaboration, automatic obstacle avoidance and intelligent task planning in complex environments, and promote batch application in scenarios such as government governance.

  Bao Xiaojun, chairman of Narui Radar, introduced that the company has deeply cultivated radar technology and has refined detection systems covering multiple bands. Phased array radar has significant advantages in the field of low-altitude detection. Its independently developed TDKFT0104 Ku-band dual-polarized active phased array radar can be used in many fields such as three-dimensional transportation and expanded to shore and sea surveillance and other scenarios. It is a new product of low-altitude economy.

  Zhou Fei, chairman of Rice Information, gave an in-depth introduction to investors on the low-altitude navigation system and development path that suits my country's national conditions. Up to now, the company has completed the development of new products, facing various needs of governments, enterprises, planning and design institutes and other units, and has created a series of "Tianmu" low-altitude flight service guarantee products, aiming to connect the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and build a complete low-altitude guarantee service system with the platform's "brain" as the core.

  In addition to continuing to make efforts in product innovation, related companies also focus on improving the domestic production rate of core components. The domestic production rate of Zongheng Co., Ltd. has exceeded 90%, and continues to promote the domestic production of key components. The fully polarized active phased array radar system products mainly engaged in Nare Radar have independent intellectual property rights, and the main components of the product core components and materials have basically been domesticized; the Rice information supply chain has basically been domesticized, and imported products account for a small proportion of the company's overall procurement.

  Seize market opportunities to shape a better growth curve

  It is worth mentioning that localities are enthusiastic about low-altitude economic development. More than 30 provinces and autonomous regions have issued relevant programmatic documents, and low-altitude flight has become the integration point of transportation and urban governance. With the expansion of the market and the application of new technologies, related companies are ushering in development opportunities.

  Zongheng Co., Ltd. will focus on product genealogy, operation intelligence and application scale in 2025. Accelerate the iteration of unmanned duty systems and promote the research and development of "Zonghengyunlong" large fixed-wing drone. At the new product launch conference in March 2025, a number of new software and hardware products were unveiled, further enhancing the company's market competitiveness. The company also deepens the application of AI and large-scale model technology, builds an operation service technology system, and provides full-link solutions for the low-altitude economy.

  In addition, Narui Radar is actively expanding its market and its product application areas are constantly expanding. It has been widely used in fields such as meteorological detection and has been promoted to fields such as civil aviation. The company plans to set up a subsidiary in Hong Kong to accelerate its international layout, and will also promote the acquisition of Tianjin Xigma Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., realize the "strength and supplementary chain" of phased array radar chip design, and enhance core competitiveness. Rice Information has made comprehensive efforts in the low-altitude economic track, planned low-altitude development plans for more than 20 provinces and cities and achieved results, set a benchmark for the low-altitude service management platform in Jiangsu Province, and created a joint innovation ecosystem with universities and research institutes.

  Companies participating in the performance briefing generally believe that with the release of policy dividends and the advancement of infrastructure construction, industry demand will shift from pilot to full explosion, and will accelerate the empowerment of various fields in the next 2-3 years, and my country's low-altitude economy is about to take off.
