At 18:37 pm on July 25, 2022, my country's new type of unmanned aerial vehicle system for weather modification remote sensing detection operation, after 2 years of research, successfully took off at Pucheng Airport in Shaanxi, and flew smoothly into the blue sky. After 1 hour and 15 minutes, after completing the functional performance tests of all airborne remote sensing detection and operation instruments, the aircraft landed safely, marking the first flight of my country's first medium-to-large-capacity long-duration artificially influenced weather remote sensing detection operation UAV system. The test mission was a complete success.

This type of UAV system is organized and developed by the Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the No. 704 Institute of the Ninth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, Xi'an Lingkong Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Provincial Weather Modification Center, Xinyu National Science and Technology Co., Ltd. Yihangyu (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. and other units jointly undertake the research, and the National Engineering Laboratory for Remote Sensing Satellite Applications, the State Key Laboratory for Special UAVs, and the National Engineering Research Center for Satellite Navigation Applications have given strong support and help.

Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the Institute of Aerospace Information Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the No. 704 Institute of the Ninth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, Xi'an Lingkong Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. and other units have focused on the urgent needs of economic and social development. Special traction, focusing on the development of mid-air, large-load and long-endurance UAV platforms and air-based cloud-rain-aerosol-wind quantitative remote sensing technology as key breakthroughs, aiming at the construction of air-ground integrated equipment system, exploring scientific research institutes, experiments Cooperate with the application unit to tackle the new model, and realize the deep integration of the new type of weather modification remote sensing detection operation UAV system and the provincial weather modification command platform.

This type of UAV system is modified and designed on the basis of the LK-2000 UAV platform of Xi'an Lingkong Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. It has the characteristics of large load, long flight time, low operation and maintenance cost, high safety, and rapid deployment.

The airborne equipment system is mainly carried out by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Ninth Academy No. 704 and other units. On the basis of my country's new generation of spaceborne cloud and rain, aerosol, and wind measurement radars, the innovative realization of laser-microwave dual-active composite detection, active-passive joint detection and Remote sensing in-situ detection and other functions can realize multi-dimensional quantitative remote sensing detection of atmospheric elements such as cloud-rain-aerosol-wind below the route. The overall system has real-time fine detection, intelligent analysis and judgment, accurate catalytic operations, and scientific effect evaluation.

During the test mission, the Shaanxi Provincial Weather Modification Center organized ground collaborative detection and UAV meteorological support, which strongly supported the successful completion of the test mission.

The successful first flight of the new UAV system for weather modification remote sensing detection operation marks a new important breakthrough in the construction of air-based weather modification multi-dimensional and multi-element UAV remote sensing detection operation technology and means for engineering applications in my country. milestone. The system plays an exemplary and leading role in economic and social development such as disaster prevention and mitigation, and ecological environmental protection.
