On June 28, the national mobile observation business launch and drone delivery event was successfully held in Zigong City, Sichuan Province. Two Haiyan gas-sounding high-altitude large-scale unmanned aerial vehicles were delivered and successfully completed their first flight for precise meteorological vertical detection on the southeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau.

This event is hosted by the Meteorological Observation Center of the China Meteorological Administration. The Haiyan I UAV and Haiyan II UAV delivered this time were independently developed by the aviation industry on the basis of the Pterosaur series UAV. They have the characteristics of strong operation capabilities in complex environments and are equipped with aircraft The downloadable sounding system and other meteorological loads can continuously carry out atmospheric vertical profile detection in specific environments, solve the problem of blank areas of meteorological data and insufficient observation data in complex environments, and provide important information for southwest vortex, plateau meteorology, ocean (typhoon) and other important issues. Provide first-hand meteorological information for weather process and weather and climate sensitive area observation, emergency response support and meteorological disaster prevention, reduction and relief.

The Haiyan I UAV has the ability to perform high-speed, high-ceiling flight missions, and the Haiyan II UAV has the ability to perform long-endurance, long-distance flight missions. From 2020 to 2022, the Pterosaur-10 UAV and the Pterosaur-2 UAV respectively carried out my country's first high-altitude large-scale UAV typhoon comprehensive observation test and carried out my country's first high-altitude large-scale UAV meteorological observation mission on the Tibetan Plateau. , laying a solid foundation for the establishment and improvement of a national-level mobile meteorological observation business system.

At 10:39 on the 28th, the Haiyan I UAV took off from Zigong Lantian Airport in Sichuan and arrived over the mission area to perform a refined meteorological vertical detection mission. It successfully dropped 6 sondes and completed the national-level mission. The first flight mission of the mobile meteorological observation service.

Cao Xiaozhong, deputy director of the China Meteorological Administration, said that building a national-level mobile meteorological observation service is an important measure to build a solid first line of defense for disaster prevention and reduction. The delivery of the Haiyan drone and the launch of the national-level mobile meteorological observation service are of great significance Significance.

"The aviation industry will take the delivery of the Haiyan UAV as an opportunity to implement the strategic cooperation agreement to be signed with the China Meteorological Administration." Lu Guangshan, chief engineer of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, said that in technological innovation and equipment development and application, operation support, standard formulation and other fields, further deepen pragmatic cooperation with the China Meteorological Administration, and continue to contribute aviation power to the high-quality development of China’s meteorological undertakings.
