The application of photoelectric pods in UAVs has become more and more extensive, and can be used in public security monitoring, emergency rescue, electricity, meteorology, and agricultural plant protection. Forest firefighting uses drone photoelectric pods for forest firefighting, and timely finds high temperature and flammable points; in the agricultural field, photoelectric pods can be used for aerial photography to detect surface and crop temperatures and understand irrigation conditions. In the field of environmental protection, since the temperature of industrial sewage and industrial gas pollution discharge have relatively obvious temperature information, the environmental protection department uses drones equipped with photoelectric pods to visually detect sewage and gas emissions during the day and night.

In the field of public security, the airborne optoelectronic pod can perform area monitoring or area search for criminal suspects during the day and night, and can be used in fog or smoke scenes; in emergency areas, such as burning, explosions, etc., optoelectronic cranes The cabin can clearly obtain the first-hand temperature information of the scene, and is not affected by night or smoke. In the power inspection, the photoelectric pod can monitor the abnormal temperature points of cables or pylons, which has the advantage of more accurate positioning.

The "In-depth Evaluation of China's UAV Optoelectronic Pod Industry Market and the 2018-2022 Investment Feasibility Advisory Report" released by Synopsys pointed out that with the development of the electronics industry, material science, control, and communication technology, the UAV market At present, a period of rapid growth is ushered in, especially since the 21st century, the development investment and procurement demand of UAVs have shown explosive growth. Driven by the good market growth rate and growth potential of drones, domestic and foreign companies continue to enter the field of drones to conduct research and development and production of drones and related parts, resulting in fierce competition in the drone market.

The UAV industry has extensive market space and development potential in military, civilian, consumer and other fields. In the past two years, the development of my country's drone industry has shown a blowout trend, and the consumer-grade drone market and the industrial-grade drone market have grown rapidly. However, my country's consumer-grade drone market and industrial-grade drone market are still in the growth stage, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future.

New Thinking Investment analyst pointed out that the drone optoelectronic pod is currently in the growth stage, the technical level of the industry needs to be improved, and the policies and standards need to be improved. In the future, with the expansion of the drone industry and technological advancement, the size of the drone optoelectronic pod industry will continue to expand, and the technical level will continue to improve, which will promote the improvement of industry standards and promote the industry to gradually achieve stable development.
