Achieve efficient and precise detection and operations.
Drones offer rapid response, are unconstrained by takeoff and landing sites, and can swiftly reach operational airspace, effectively seizing fleeting meteorological windows. By integrating flares for cloud seeding, atmospheric parameter sensing, and real-time data links, they establish an integrated air–ground capability spanning “sensing–decision‑making–operations–evaluation,” significantly enhancing the scientific rigor and safety of operations. This solution effectively addresses the limitations of conventional methods—high costs, complex airspace coordination, and substantial personnel risks—providing a flexible, reliable, and low‑cost modern tool for tasks such as rainfall enhancement, drought mitigation, hail suppression, and disaster reduction, thereby comprehensively improving the efficiency of weather‑modification operations.

Grid-based operations
Reliance on ground-based anti-aircraft guns and fixed rocket‑launcher sites limits area coverage to the density of these emplacements; in the complex terrain of Southwest China, site density is only 36% of that in North China, leaving vast areas as operational blind spots.
Coordinated air‑ground network deployment, with large and medium‑size UAVs operating in a complementary high‑low configuration and integrating point‑and‑area coverage; leveraging drone nests to enable grid‑based operational missions and on‑demand scheduling for full‑area coverage.
The coverage rate of operations in complex terrain areas has significantly increased; the strategy has shifted from "fixed-point defense" to "all-encompassing mobile catalysis"
Operations in Complex Scenarios
Ground-based assets face significant deployment challenges in complex terrains such as mountainous regions, plateaus, and canyons, while manned aircraft are heavily constrained by airfield support capabilities and adverse weather conditions. Moreover, the window for severe convective weather is brief, and airspace clearance typically takes more than 45 minutes on average, often resulting in missed optimal operational opportunities.
A heavy‑payload, long‑endurance UAV with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, requiring no airport support and enabling rapid field deployment; AI‑powered intelligent route planning dynamically adapts to cloud‑system changes, flexibly adjusting the mission path.
The preparation time for operations has been reduced from several tens of minutes to just a few minutes, enabling effective exploitation of brief operational windows; it also overcomes the geographical constraints—such as plateaus and mountainous areas—where manned aircraft cannot operate on a routine basis.
Precision catalytic operations
65% of operational sites employ empirical dosing, conducting operations in a coarse‑grained manner based on “3–6 cloud‑seeding flares per cloud.” Ground‑based radar has limited accuracy in identifying supercooled water regions, resulting in insufficient catalytic precision; moreover, post‑operation effectiveness assessments lack direct observational data.
Equipped with cloud‑physics sensing payloads, it provides real-time monitoring of cloud structure and employs AI‑driven intelligent matching of catalytic strategies. Silver iodide flares are precisely dispersed, enabling on‑demand operations such as cold‑cloud seeding, warm‑cloud water‑enhancement, artificial snowfall, and fog‑ and haze‑removal.
Catalytic precision has been significantly enhanced, enabling finely tuned operations that hit the mark every time; operational detection can last for more than five hours, with continuous data‑driven performance evaluation.
Security Management and Control
Personnel‑related ammunition is classified as a civil explosives item, subject to stringent transportation, storage, and management regulations; yet at the municipal and county levels, specialized ammunition depots and qualified transport permits are generally lacking. Furthermore, operations involving anti‑aircraft artillery rockets pose safety risks due to shrapnel fallout zones, necessitating extensive ground‑level safety controls.
Drone‑borne flame‑barrel catalysis eliminates safety risks associated with unexploded ordnance in the impact zone; the entire operation is digitally monitored, with flight trajectories and operational parameters transmitted in real time; ground personnel are not required to enter hazardous work areas.
Completely eliminate safety risks associated with the transportation and storage of ground‑based munitions and with shrapnel impact zones; ensure full traceability and controllability throughout the entire operational process, thereby achieving a comprehensive upgrade in safety management.
