Huang Pengxiao believes that the Chinese Communist Party’s aerial camera is suspected by many countries of having a spy role, which gives everyone a warning that they must be more vigilant about Chinese-made products.
In response to the Agriculture Commission, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and other government units use more than 70% of China-made drones, former National Assembly representative Huang Pengxiao said that many countries suspect that China-made drones have a spy role, which is a lesson and a warning, should raise awareness of Chinese products; in addition, small aircraft is difficult to capture with radar, how to counteract the future development of Chinese drones to fly directly over other countries such as Taiwan, I am afraid that will be a common problem faced by all countries.
The global market share of DJI aircrafts, a major Chinese drone manufacturer, has reached about 70%. According to Skylogic Research, DJI’s global civilian drone market share reached 74% in 2019, and Drone Industry Insights, a German drone market research firm, reported in June 2020 that DJI’s market share in the global commercial drone market exceeded 70%.
The report also mentioned that DJI’s market share in the global commercial drone market is over 70%. In response, Huang Pengxiao said that DJI’s aerial camera is currently the world’s largest production and has the highest market share. In the past, without alerting the situation, not only the Ministry of the Republic of China government, but also the U.S. military have purchased. Recently, countries are alerted to DJI’s drone chips, equipment, etc., which may transmit the photographic information back to China, and began to trace how many aircams were purchased from China.
Huang Pengxiao believes that technology is changing rapidly, and many seemingly harmless technological products actually conceal mysteries. The Chinese Communist Party’s aerial camera, suspected by many countries of spying, has given everyone a warning that they must be more vigilant about Chinese-made products.
Drone control can’t be done without a leak
Executive President Su Zhenchang has called for a comprehensive inventory of drones and their retirement in accordance with regulations. The government unit banned Chinese drones, but the private sector may not be able to disable, will not form a loophole? Huang Pengxiao said that the Legislative Yuan has amended the law, the Executive Yuan also set up the management of drones or small aircraft, and delineate the no-go area for drones or small aircraft, but may not be able to do not leak.
Huang Pengxiao pointed out that the control of drones is a knife with two edges. Some of the drones are just small toy-like aircraft, which do not fly high, not far, limited by telecommunications conditions, and not long stagnation time. If the restrictions are too strict, it will kill the country’s skills to manipulate small aircraft. And this kind of small flying machine is not high technology, with Taiwan’s manufacturers, production is not a problem at all, but Taiwan’s market is too small, DJI’s market share is too high, which affects many other products of the same type.
“The United States began to sanction DJI, which should also be an opportunity for domestic manufacturers to develop small flying machines.” Huang Pengxiao said Taiwan is guarding against the potential harm that could be done by the Communist Party’s small flying vehicles while actively developing special-purpose small flying vehicles, including drones similar to those used by the U.S. military. In the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, very considerable drones made by Israel and Turkey were seen. Even Turkey can make drones for use on the battlefield, representing that the technological content of drones is not high, and Taiwan is fully capable of doing so.
Huang Pengxiao pointed out that the world’s best drones or the U.S.-made drones. If you want to fly far with satellite navigation, there are few countries can do it. The United States sold to Taiwan MQ-9 UAV, on the surface seems to be a drone, more importantly, the follow-up can share the United States satellite navigation and dry pipe link, which is the essence of this military procurement case.
Huang Pengxiao said that the general small UAV can not share the satellite network pipeline, and limited by the power equipment and remote control distance, flying not far and not high, DJI unmanned aerial camera claimed to fly up to 2000 meters, should already be the limit. The drones also have the problem of limited airtime, generally using batteries, the limited battery storage power leads to limited airtime, and the body of the drones is not large, carrying mostly cameras, etc., carrying weapons systems still have considerable difficulties.
Radar is difficult to capture the future may appear hidden drones
According to Australian media reports, John Venable, a senior researcher at the Heritage Foundation, a U.S. think tank, warned that DJI dominates the market for aerial photography, heat-sensing photography, and topographic mapping, and that the amount of data and information obtained by using DJI drones is quite large. Experts in Europe and the United States also pointed out that Chinese drone companies can collect data and transmit it to the Chinese Communist government, seriously threatening the national security and privacy of the people of various countries.
Huang Pengxiao said, to the current space aerial photography technology, ground targets are difficult to escape the eyes of the air, like Fuwei satellite from the air to shoot China’s target is very clear. General commercial satellite will be able to aerial images processed very clear, not to mention military satellites, this aspect of unmanned aerial photography aircraft can play a small role, but still to prevent, so from the legal restrictions on the use of small aircraft location.
Huang Pengxiao reminded that now countries have difficulty in capturing small flying machines with radar equipment, how to counteract the development of China’s future drones, the Chinese Communist Party may manipulate the drones to fly over Taiwan and so on, which is also a common problem faced by countries around the world at present, countries need to work together to come up with solutions.
On whether radar is also difficult to capture the U.S. MQ-9 drones? Huang Pengxiao said, of course, it is difficult, the target is too small, there will be difficulties in identifying, and hit with missiles is not cost-effective. Iran once shot down a U.S. drone, is through electronic interference to do. The prerequisite is to capture the target on the radar in order to further jam the drone and then force it to land. Drones are vulnerable to electronic interference is the death of drones, however, to lock the drone is difficult, including the United States may not be able to do.
Huang Pengxiao said, the U.S. drone technology continues to improve, the future drone stash should only be a matter of time, will be more difficult to deal with. Now technology advances, making many battlefields, tactics and strategies have changed, such as Azerbaijan and Armenia in the six-week war, Azerbaijan used drones to lock the Armenian military targets, and then uploaded the Internet to share, so that people can see that drones are indeed the future direction of war should pay attention to.
The French company Synacktiv and the American security research company GRIMM pointed out that the Android program of DJI’s drones could be implanted with malicious programs by hackers and control the user’s cell phone. This is a problem that countries around the world, including Taiwan, need to prevent. President Tsai Ing-wen’s personal security guards are equipped with many weapons to prevent drone attacks, in case the Chinese Communist Party uses drones to carry out decapitation operations, as the United States does.
