During the Jiangxi Provincial Two Sessions held from January 26 to 31, representatives and committee members engaged in extensive discussions on developing the low-altitude economy while effectively incorporating national defense requirements, aiming to jointly safeguard low-altitude security.

A representative from the Jiangxi Provincial Military District, Liu Zongcheng, emphasized that low-altitude airspace has become a strategic domain crucial for economic development, national security, and defense modernization. He proposed that military and civilian authorities should focus on improving mechanisms, unifying standards, and sharing resources to promote synchronized and coordinated development between the low-altitude economy and national defense construction.

Hu Rong, a representative from an Air Force unit, highlighted the increasing demand for airspace conditions due to intensified combat training. He suggested joint military-civilian legislation to resolve conflicts in airspace management and utilization, advocating for scientific planning, rigorous demand assessment, resource allocation, and qualification reviews to prevent disorderly development and enhance the efficiency of low-altitude resource utilization.

Chen Bin, a representative from Yuanzhou District, Yichun City, underscored the importance of integrating a holistic national security perspective into economic development. In recent years, Yuanzhou District has prioritized the protection of airspace around military facilities while developing the low-altitude economy. By employing radar, electronic fencing, and other technological measures, the district has established a multi-layered surveillance network combining technical and human defenses to promptly detect, identify, warn against, and address illegal low-altitude flights, such as unauthorized or reckless drone activities, thereby safeguarding military installations.

Hu Xuejun, a representative from the Yiyang County People’s Armed Forces Department, recommended accelerating legislative processes in Jiangxi to clarify priority guarantees and control rights over low-altitude airspace during wartime or emergencies, laying a legal foundation for national defense applications. He cited Shangrao City’s exploration of regulations for public safety management of civil unmanned aircraft, which has significantly reduced issues like uncontrolled crashes, intrusions into no-fly zones, and privacy violations, thereby enhancing low-altitude security.

Qiu Jiangfeng, a representative from Dongxiang District, Fuzhou City, emphasized the importance of collaboration between military units and local entities, including airlines, civil aviation airports, air traffic control, public security, and telecommunications departments. He proposed improving systems for air situation warning sharing, electromagnetic spectrum management, emergency response coordination, and joint alert protection to build an integrated, comprehensive military-civilian joint prevention and control system.

Zhang Ming, another representative from the Jiangxi Provincial Military District, noted that Jiangxi is actively promoting the integrated development of the low-altitude economy and national defense construction. Efforts span from the construction of aviation towns and the cultivation of professionals to innovations in regulatory mechanisms and the establishment of a legal framework, contributing new explorations to strengthening the integrated national strategic system and capabilities.
