Hubei Provincial Government Drone Brigade was established

China News Service, Wuhan, November 8 (Wu Yili, Yan Jia) The establishment of the Hubei Provincial Government UAV Team and the launch ceremony of the Hubei Government UAV Linkage Application Platform were held in Wuhan on the 8th, marking the Hubei Province's government low-altitude application moving towards a systematic and standardized development stage.

This event was hosted by the Hubei Digital Intelligence "One Picture" Construction Work Team and hosted by Hubei Big Data Group and Hubei Airport Group. The “One Map” of Digital Intelligence Hubei is a key construction project promoted by the province. It relies on digital means to break down data barriers, promote resource sharing, and support the implementation of various plans.

The Hubei Provincial Data Bureau exerts its government data coordinating and management functions to guide various localities in the access, cataloging, sharing and centralized management of low-altitude sensing data, and promotes the safe integration of drone operation results into the province's government data resource system. The brigade and the platform are responsible for the low-altitude operations: flight trajectories, operation data and results data are all integrated into the "one picture" data resource pool according to standards, and are integrated and shared with various sensing resources to provide support for risk prevention and control, emergency response and public services. The Hubei Provincial Public Security Department coordinates flight safety risk management and control, provides unified flight service guarantees for daily inspections and emergency response, and promotes the transformation of government drone applications from "self-built and self-used" to "co-construction and shared use".

According to reports, the Hubei government drone linkage application platform has currently connected more than 13,000 drones, and the capability warehouse has deposited more than 120 AI recognition algorithms. The first batch of applications covers scenarios in water conservancy, housing and construction and other departments. It initially has integrated service capabilities of resource aggregation, demand coordination, task crowdsourcing, operation monitoring and data sharing.

The brigade and the platform operate in a manner of "unified acceptance, intelligent order dispatch, classified execution, emergency conversion, and closed-loop contract fulfillment". Taking river inspection as an example, the business department delineates the area on the map; the platform matches the nearest hangar and the required algorithm, generates and declares the route; after the task is assigned, the aircraft nest can take off independently, or the pilot can operate nearby; after the flight is over, the image and artificial intelligence recognition results are automatically archived and transmitted back to the business system according to standards.

Through images, the water conservancy department can check shoreline changes, the ecological environment department can check water quality monitoring, and relevant departments can use it for inspections or emergency research and judgment according to their authority, greatly improving work efficiency.
