In the midst of the global surge in low-altitude economy, Nanjing Chuhang Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Chuhang Technology") officially announced on August 14th its strategic partnership with Shanghai Shiwai Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Shiwai Intelligent"), a leading avionics and flight control company. This collaboration marks Chuhang Technology's formal entry into the low-altitude economy sector, aiming to enhance the safety and efficiency of low-altitude aircraft through advanced intelligent sensing technologies.
With rapid technological advancements and progressive policy openings, the low-altitude economy has emerged as a significant new productivity sector, rapidly rising to become a new engine driving high-quality economic development. Chuhang Technology, a leader in intelligent sensing technology, has long been committed to developing high-precision, high-reliability millimeter-wave radar sensors, data processing algorithms, and integrated solutions, widely applied in autonomous driving, smart cities, and low-altitude aircraft. Shiwai Intelligent, on the other hand, boasts outstanding technical capabilities and market influence in avionics flight control research and autonomous flight operations, being a prominent player in urban air mobility (UAM) and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) sectors.
The strategic cooperation will leverage Chuhang Technology's innovative advantages in 4D millimeter-wave radar sensing technology and Shiwai Intelligent's extensive experience in autonomous flight systems to explore new models and business forms in the low-altitude economy. The two companies will collaborate closely on various application scenarios, including low-altitude drones, urban air mobility (UAM), and logistics drones, to promote the integration of 4D millimeter-wave radar technology with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and develop safer, more efficient, and smarter low-altitude solutions.
Avionics flight control is a core system for unmanned aerial vehicles. Shiwai Intelligent has developed an automatic flight system for VTOL aircraft, adhering to high safety aviation standards such as DO-178/254/331 and ARP-4754/4761. This system features a redundant architecture and intelligent fault diagnosis, meeting the needs for intelligent sensing, autonomous flight, and obstacle avoidance in UAVs. Leveraging its unique and forward-looking millimeter-wave radar sensing technology, Chuhang Technology will provide robust sensing capabilities to support Shiwai Intelligent's automatic flight systems. The latest 4D millimeter-wave radar model developed by Chuhang Technology, designed specifically for low-altitude environments, enables precise sensing and real-time analysis of complex low-altitude scenarios, offering strong technical support for autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and monitoring of low-altitude aircraft. Additionally, by integrating big data analysis and cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies, Chuhang Technology will provide customized and intelligent low-altitude sensing solutions to meet diverse needs across various scenarios.
Chuhang Technology's latest 4D millimeter-wave radar model conforms to DO-178/254/160 aviation standards, featuring high intelligence, flexible obstacle avoidance, precise speed and altitude control, and easy installation. Equipped with high-density, high-precision point cloud information, the radar supports multi-target tracking algorithms and integrates pitch information for road scene recognition and passable area detection, with a maximum detection range of up to 350 meters and precision of 1.5° horizontally and 3° vertically.
"We are honored to partner with Shiwai Intelligent, an innovator in avionics flight control, to jointly explore new opportunities in the low-altitude economy," said Li Zhipan, Vice President of Chuhang Technology, at the signing ceremony. "Chuhang Technology will leverage its unique advantages in intelligent sensing to advance the development of the low-altitude economy towards greater intelligence, safety, and efficiency, contributing to the construction of future urban air traffic networks."
Looking ahead, Chuhang Technology and Shiwai Intelligent will not only deepen their collaboration in technology, products, and markets but also drive the coordinated development of the entire low-altitude economy industry chain. Both companies will continue to increase R&D investment, promote technological innovation and industry upgrading, and tackle the challenges and opportunities in the development of the low-altitude economy, providing users with more convenient, efficient, and safe low-altitude travel and service experiences.
