Abstract

The year 2020 witnessed new opportunities and challenges for the development and application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). More profound thoughts were invoked on the developments of UAV industry with some new features. This paper tries to summarize and analyze some hot topics and new developments of UAV in 2020 from the aspects of new regulations, key technologies, practical applications and so on. Under the promotion of innovation and relevant policies, the UAV industry will reach a new point and have new vitality. Swarm autonomy, intelligent action and actual combat are still the important directions of UAV developments in the future.

Key words： unmanned aerial vehicle; technological hotspots; swarm intelligence
