China’s security ministry warns of safety risks from low-altitude aircraft
China's top intelligence agency, the Ministry of State Security, has issued a warning regarding potential national security risks associated with the rapidly expanding "low-altitude economy." The ministry highlighted concerns about the large amounts of sensitive data generated during aircraft production and flight, emphasizing the need for careful management to prevent tampering, corruption, and security breaches.
The ministry's statement also pointed out the challenges posed by drones, noting their small size, low cost, non-metallic construction, and high-resolution cameras, which make them difficult to track. This raises the possibility of unauthorized surveillance of sensitive areas. The "low-altitude economy" encompasses activities in airspace below 1,000 meters, including the use of drones and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft for various purposes like air taxis and delivery services.
