On May 17, 2024, the 9th Beijing Military Intelligent Technology and Equipment Expo was held in Beijing 300397. SZ) brought the core products of the three major business systems, including military equipment, 5G radio frequency, and Tianrong engineering, to the collective appearance. Among them, amphibious robots, artificial muscle robot fish, deep-sea current power generation systems and other products were unveiled for the first time, attracting many exhibitors to stop and watch.
During the exhibition, Lanfu Financial Network interviewed He Zenglin, chairman of Tianhe Defense. "We have waited for 20 years, and finally waited for the great development of the low-altitude economy." When talking about the company's low-altitude economic business, He Zenglin said with a little excitement.
He Zenglin said that whether it is the RF microwave chip that breaks through the bottleneck, or the research and development of Qin film semiconductor materials, or the forward-looking layout in the field of low-altitude economy, Tianhe Defense has been striving to create a market with new quality productivity, and promote new industries, new models and new kinetic energy through scientific and technological innovation, so as to drive enterprises to achieve high-quality development.
Achieve a first-mover advantage in the low-altitude field
It is understood that the Beijing Military Intelligent Technology and Equipment Expo has been successfully held for eight consecutive sessions, and has now become a docking platform to display the intelligent construction of mainland military equipment, as well as technological innovation, technical exchanges, achievement display, procurement applications, projects and capital. Tens of thousands of representatives from the government, military, armed police, public security, transportation, civil air defense, aerospace, aviation, weapons, ships, and other fields engaged in national defense and military technology and industry attended the event.
Walking into the door of Hall E2, the booth of Tianhe Defense came into view. Portable drone disposal equipment, regional surveillance intelligent sentinel, border and coastal defense intelligent sentinel and other products are neatly displayed on the booth, from time to time there are exhibitors to take photos and check in, consult its functions and advantages, many exhibits by the participants are highly concerned.
It is understood that the exhibits of Tianhe Defense this time mainly include low-altitude ultra-low-altitude defense system equipment, low-altitude air traffic control support system equipment, digital ocean perception system equipment, military T/R components, "Qin film" series of high-performance dielectric films, typical applications of Tianrong engineering, etc. Among them, low-altitude related products are undoubtedly the most concerned.
Lanfu Finance and Economics noted that in addition to related products in the low-altitude field, exhibits such as marine special equipment, military T/R components, "Qin film" series of high-performance dielectric films, and typical applications of Tianrong Engineering have also attracted much attention.
Among them, the amphibious robots, artificial muscle robot fish, deep-sea current power generation systems, piezoelectric polymer flexible hydrophones, sensors, speakers, ionomer polymer (hydrogel) hydrophone materials, superstructure sound-absorbing and sound-insulating panels and other products developed by Tianhe Defense-Xi'an Jiaotong University Collaborative Innovation Institute of Marine Technology and Equipment are all making their public debuts.
The application fields of "military T/R components" and chips include spaceborne, airborne, shipborne, vehicle-mounted, ground radar, etc., mainly for the military and satellite communication fields, and there is a huge space for the development of military and civilian dual-use.
Twenty years ahead of schedule to lay out the low-altitude economy
At this exhibition, the related products of Tianhe Defense in the low-altitude field were successfully unveiled, which is actually the result of the company's layout in the low-altitude economic field 20 years in advance.
He Zenglin told Lanfu Financial Network: "The company has carried out technical research and development in low-altitude related fields very early, and after more than 20 years of accumulation, it has formed a complete team of technical equipment and professional talents, which are the company's confidence to continue to expand low-altitude economy-related businesses." ”
According to He Zenglin's briefing, as early as 2001, Tianhe Defense undertook the task of developing air defense models for cities and key areas of a certain department of the Central Military Commission, and has accumulated profound technical and scientific research strength in the low-altitude field, with obvious first-mover advantages. In 2010, the company expanded the layout from the military technology traction to the civilian direction and cut into the low-altitude air traffic control support business field, and undertook the major project of the national science and technology support plan "China Civil Aviation Collaborative Air Traffic Control Technology Comprehensive Application Demonstration" of the "General Aviation Integrated Operation Support System" topic, the company in accordance with the idea of air traffic control and air defense integration, in-depth development of technology and product research and development in the direction of low-altitude field and air-ground safety, focusing on the industrial needs of the low-altitude (UAV) field, and striving to achieve the low-altitude goal of "visible, manageable, smooth, efficient management, effective management" and long-term exploration and layout.
At present, Tianhe Defense has successively launched highly competitive products in the low-altitude field, which is also a positive feedback brought by the layout 20 years ahead of schedule. According to reports, in the field of low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude defense system equipment, Tianhe Defense has always been based on low-altitude close defense to promote low-altitude air supremacy capacity building. Focus on the new model of low-altitude close defense (China Hunter 2.0), border and coastal defense, military big data and other businesses, and form a complete sequence of military equipment. In the field of low-altitude air traffic control support business, Tianhe Defense mainly focuses on the midstream market of low-altitude economic construction, which is the only way for low-altitude economic development. With the support of favorable national policies, the development of the company's low-altitude air traffic control support business has gained broad space and strong support.
The forward-looking strategic layout has opened up growth space for the development of Tianhe Defense in the field of low-altitude economy. According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the scale of China's low-altitude economy has exceeded 500 billion yuan in 2023 and is expected to reach 2 trillion yuan in 2030.
Tianhe Defense low-altitude economic series products
After years of accumulation, in the field of low-altitude air traffic control support, Tianhe Defense currently has software and hardware products to meet the low-altitude flight service support, and based on the needs of aviation emergency rescue, focusing on the application of new technologies such as cloud platform, big data, and 5G, and forming a dual-use, air-ground coordination, and practical aviation emergency rescue platform composed of Beidou/ADS-B/4G airborne terminals, aviation emergency mobile towers, and aviation emergency service platforms, which solves the problem of aviation emergency charges and effectively improves the air-ground integration capability of emergency rescue.
At the same time, in order to make Tianhe Defense's low-altitude economy go further, the company's major business segments will provide strong support for products and services in the field of low-altitude economy. Tianhe Defense has strong technical reserves in the fields of low-altitude defense, low-altitude safety and 5G, which can lay the foundation for the continuous expansion of low-altitude economy-related businesses, provide solid technical product support, and help the company's low-altitude economy-related products to achieve "take-off".
With the opening of low-altitude airspace and the increase of unmanned aerial vehicles and other aircraft, the demand for low-altitude flight service guarantee and safety monitoring will increase, and the development of low-altitude economy in the future will have a positive impact on the aerospace and defense business. Thanks to more than 20 years of technology accumulation and industrial layout, Tianhe Defense is expected to give priority to enjoying industry dividends.
