China News Network, March 20th. According to the information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology website, in order to regulate the activities related to the production and manufacture of civil drones, maintain national security, public safety, and flight safety, and promote the healthy and orderly development of the civil drone industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology The Management Measures for the Production of Civilian UAVs (Draft for Soliciting Opinions) (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures") are open to the public for comments. The Measures clearly states that civil drones should have unique product identification codes.
Civilian drones are powered drones that have the function of maintaining position flight.
The measures are clear. Civilian drones should have unique product identification codes. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has formulated standards and regulations for unique product identification codes for civilian drones. Production enterprises shall compile and use identification codes on civil drones in accordance with relevant standards and regulations. The production enterprise shall write the identification code of the civilian drone into the non-erasable chip storage area of the civilian drone, and mark it on the body and the outer packaging.
The method proposes that civil drones should have electronic fences that automatically detect and update flight airspace delineation information when they are turned on, have flight area restrictions and warning functions, prevent approaching, flying in or out of specific areas, and meet airspace management related requirements.
The method requires that the micro drone should be able to automatically broadcast its product identification code and flight status information through wifi, Bluetooth, etc. during the flight, so that it can be easily discovered and identified by other devices during the flight. Civilian drones other than micro drones should be able to automatically report identification information, as well as product, registration, pilot, and other regulatory information to the national regulatory platform during the flight.
Civilian drones other than miniatures should have other emergency measures to automatically return to the sea or reduce damage to ground personnel and buildings in the event of link loss or insufficient power. Civilian drones should have a low-voltage, low-fuel alarm function to warn when the aircraft has low voltage, low fuel, and low-voltage remote control systems.
The measures propose that the data transmission systems, measurement and control links, cloud systems, application operating software, etc. used by civil drones must not be installed with malicious programs, and must not contain map data and related information that are prohibited by law or administrative regulations from being released or transmitted.
The measures also require that civilian drone production enterprises should do a good job of information security protection in accordance with the requirements of relevant information security standards to prevent unauthorized access to civilian drone links. When a civilian drone manufacturing enterprise finds that its products, application systems, and software have risks such as security defects and loopholes, it should immediately take remedial measures, notify users in a timely manner in accordance with regulations, and report to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
