One field, namely the offshore low-altitude test field Two zones, namely the marine environment adaptability test zone and the marine scenario empirical test zone This encompasses full elements, full processes, and full scenarios of low-altitude operations (All the scenario applications you can think of are included) This is the low-altitude marine test field project recently built by GEOVIS Technology in Xiangshan, Zhejiang A veritable "low-altitude dome" In layman's terms, it is a "low-altitude eco-city" The Xiangshan Low-Altitude Marine Test Field is precisely the practical implementation of the "low-altitude dome" full-element test and verification system proposed by Gao Jiaxin, Chief Technologist of the Ecological Market Center at GEOVIS Technology Co., Ltd. and Vice President of GEOVIS Earth, at the 2026 Aerospace Information Conference and GEOVIS Technology Ecological Partner Conference. It is not merely a patchwork fix for traditional test flight fields, but rather uses the architecture of "one entity, two fields, three modules, and N tasks" to re-answer the engineering-level systematic construction questions of "what to verify, how to verify, and how to use after verification" in the large-scale stage of low-altitude operations.
It is well known that on July 1, 2026, the revised "Civil Aviation Law of the People's Republic of China" officially came into effect, marking the first time the low-altitude economy has been systematically regulated at the national law level. The new law sets clear requirements for aircraft design, production, maintenance, export, and flight activities, while also providing legal support for low-altitude platforms and systematic airworthiness safety. In the promotion regulations section, platform responsibilities have also been elevated to the dimension of "law". For the industry, this releases an extremely clear signal: the infrastructure construction of the low-altitude economy can no longer rely on "blindfolded sprinting" through reckless test flights; it must enter a systematic era that is computable, verifiable, and regulable.
At this time node of the new regulation, the "low-altitude dome" is precisely an infrastructure paradigm provided by GEOVIS Technology, spanning from the digital base to the physical field, and from equipment testing to model replication.
I. Why Can Traditional Test Fields Not Satisfy Large-Scale Operations? Reviewing the industry data from 2025 to 2026, the Civil Aviation Administration of China reported that the number of registered drones exceeded 3.28 million in 2025, with flight hours surging by nearly 70%, and an increase of nearly one million in the first half of 2026. The high-speed growth brings the challenge of how to balance industrial development under the premise of safety, and how to solve the credibility and participation of a series of entities such as regulators, industries, users, and capital through the trend guidance of integration, digitalization, and urban complex environments.
The design logic of traditional test fields is "single flight testing": one aircraft, one airspace, one group of engineers, verifying the performance of the aircraft itself. However, the characteristics of large-scale low-altitude operations are multi-entity, multi-aircraft types, and multi-operation scenarios (logistics, emergency, inspection, manned, etc.), relying on support facilities such as communication, navigation, surveillance, meteorology, and counter-UAV, to achieve systematic and efficient collaboration within controlled and trusted airspace under operation and regulatory rules. According to the accident chain theory, every newly added element could be a potential risk point. For safe and efficient development, what needs to be verified is not just the aircraft, but also meteorological adaptability, risk identification, consistency of communication, navigation, and surveillance, counter-UAV capabilities, regulatory processes, emergency disposal, and ultimately the replicability of the business model.
Although 20 national-level drone testing institutions (including 17 centers and 3 bases) have been laid out domestically, and airworthiness management has initially built a "1+6" system, Gao Jiaxin frankly pointed out that there are still shortcomings: there is a total volume but a lack of grading, there are aircraft but a lack of systematic support, and there are application scenarios but a lack of effective proof. Many enterprises, even with testing reports in hand, still find it difficult to cross the "psychological threshold" of regulation. Fundamentally, existing tests are mostly single-point data, lacking systematic evidence covering full elements, full processes, and full scenarios. There is neither digital twin deduction support nor practical exercises for security red-blue confrontation, and even more lacking is platform-level linkage verification. This leads to regulators being afraid to release normalized operations, and enterprises finding it difficult to break through the cost bottleneck. Against this backdrop, industry demands are accelerating their shift: enterprises are no longer satisfied with passive compliance with regulatory inspections and tests, but are turning to seek proactive, provable, scenario-based, systematic, and truly implementable solutions. This transformation not only helps enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, but also synchronously enhances regional low-altitude security guarantee capabilities, promotes the optimization and upgrading of regulatory models, and ultimately achieves a dynamic balance between safety and efficiency.
II. The Architecture of the "Low-Altitude Dome": From "Physical Field" to "Trusted Space" The "low-altitude dome" defined by GEOVIS Technology is an innovative infrastructure for full-element, full-process, and full-scenario test and verification, built upon a standardized, systematic and intelligent product matrix and industrial service capabilities. Breaking it down, its technical architecture has a strong sense of hierarchy:
The bottom layer is a low-altitude cloud—the GEOVIS Low-Altitude Cloud As a digital base, this cloud integrates multi-source data from space, air, and ground, supercomputing capabilities, digital twin models, industry rules, and regulatory basis, turning the low-altitude into a visible, computable, and regulable digital space. Without this cloud, physical test flights are like blind men feeling an elephant, unable to conduct long-cycle meteorological deductions, conflict warnings, and route pre-planning.
The middle layer is driven by two types of test fields First is the low-altitude comprehensive business test field: leaning towards operational verification, solving "how to fly, how to use, and how to excavate scenario value." It covers the command operation center, airworthiness verification zone, inspection and testing zone, and test flight zone, supporting design certification, verification test flights, and airworthiness certification, ultimately outputting reports, pilot tests, and certification review standards. The site scale is scalable, from small-scale inspection and testing of two to three hundred mu to large-scale sites of several thousand mu.
Second is the low-altitude security test field: this is the professional barrier that distinguishes GEOVIS Technology from ordinary test fields, solving "how to manage, how to prevent, and how to guarantee." The core capabilities are summarized as "five tests, one training, and one evaluation"—detection capability, identification capability, tracking capability, disposal capability, and system collaborative testing, plus personnel training and capability evaluation. Here, major event security, sensitive area protection, illegal flight governance, red-blue confrontation, and emergency disposal exercises can be conducted, ensuring that counter-UAV equipment is not just talk on paper, but practical exercises with real guns and live ammunition in a trusted environment, providing regulatory agencies with capability grips and credible evidence.
The upper layer is an agent-driven "three-module" closed loop First is the digital module (calculate first): it is not only simulation but also a data hub. For example, after accumulating year-round meteorological and flight data for ten compound-wing and ten ultra-large compound-wing drones at a certain site, before enterprises come for testing, the system first deduces risk assessments, airworthiness boundaries, and conflict points, digesting the trial-and-error costs in advance in the virtual space, and intercepting high-risk links before physical test flights; at the same time, relying on massive historical data to repeatedly verify the feasibility of the plan, significantly improving the task success rate. More importantly, this "rehearsal-correction-re-verification" mechanism greatly shortens the verification cycle that traditionally relies on actual flights, multiplying the iteration efficiency. The system will also automatically archive the safety thresholds, operational norms, and obstacle avoidance strategies extracted from each deduction, continuously precipitating them into reusable rule standards, feeding back into subsequent test scenarios, and forming a closed-loop evolution from experience to standards.
Second is the comprehensive business testing module (test in reality): real environment, real business, real capabilities, through the inspection and certification (CNAS/CMA) and airworthiness certification (management procedures) systems, following the general operation and flight rules and the operational safety management rules for civil unmanned aerial vehicles, adhering to the core idea of safety first, and based on the principle of scenario verifiability and sustainability, systematically testing aircraft, intelligent connected platforms, meteorology, electromagnetism, personnel, and organizations.
Third is the low-altitude security testing module (verify for safety): facing security equipment and security systems, conducting detection and control of "low, slow, and small" targets, and coordination evaluation of the counter-UAV system, outputting results such as equipment effectiveness, system coordination, personnel capability evaluation, operational organization capability improvement, and regulatory enhancement.
Going through these three steps is exactly what Gao Jiaxin calls "calculate first, test in reality, and then verify for safety", upgrading the past discrete test flight behaviors into systematic verification that is traceable, reviewable, and capable of precipitating data.
III. The Technical Core of Solving the "Four Haves and Four Nots" The current development of the low-altitude economy faces the dilemma of "four haves and four nots", namely having equipment but no system, having sites but no data, having test flights but no operations, and having demonstrations but no replication. GEOVIS Technology's "low-altitude dome" breaks through these one by one technically:
Solving having equipment but no system: through unified data interfaces, the low-altitude cloud base, and agent scheduling, heterogeneous equipment such as communication, navigation, surveillance, counter-UAV, meteorology, airspace management, and flight service equipment are connected to the same set of logic, achieving "integrated" driving rather than fighting alone.
Solving having sites but no data: the digital module itself is a data precipitation engine. Data from every simulation deduction, every actual flight verification, and every security confrontation flows back to the base, forming supporting assets for the regional low-altitude capability system. Industry estimates calculate that the scale of inspection and testing will exceed 100 billion in the next ten years, stimulating the periphery by 10-30 times; the difference lies in whether the data system is a good match.
Solving having test flights but no operations: the low-altitude dome is designed as a continuous operation platform. It not only conducts airworthiness verification but also outputs scenario task packages, serving as a grip for government investment attraction and incubation, providing product testing and test flights for enterprises, conducting process and emergency drills for regulators, and providing real practical training for colleges and universities. Verification itself becomes an industrial service, and the combination of verification and production generates cash flow.
Solving having demonstrations but no replication: through GEOVIS Technology's "1+2+N+M" strategy, the standards, agent algorithms, verification processes, and scenario packages of a type of test field can be reused in N cities. The marine characteristics of Xiangshan, the logistics characteristics of inland cities, and the highland emergency characteristics of mountain cities all use the same set of low-altitude dome architecture for adaptation at the bottom layer, avoiding reinventing the wheel.
IV. Integration of Two Fields and Five-in-One: From Verifier to Accelerator The left wing of the low-altitude dome is the comprehensive business test field, serving the government, platform companies, operating enterprises, and university research institutions, answering "from flyable equipment to operable business"; the right wing is the security test field, serving regulators, security enterprises, and airports, answering "how to manage and how to prevent". The two fields share the digital base, ultimately achieving the integration of being manageable, testable, provable, and operable.
On this basis, GEOVIS Technology superimposes the "five-in-one" capabilities—low-altitude planning, security guarantee, collaborative regulation, flight services, and scenario applications, forming a full-chain closed loop. In his speech, Gao Jiaxin emphasized that the low-altitude dome is not just putting a physical cover, but a strategic-level organizer, an industrial capability verifier, and a regional accelerator for GEOVIS Technology. It is a full-element verification pool integrating "sky, ground, network, data, management, and security", establishing a set of "digital foundation" and "trusted standards" for regional low-altitude operations. It strings and connects one cloud, two types of fields, and M scenarios in N cities, infinitely amplifying and replicating it.
It is reported that GEOVIS Technology's full-chain product matrix for the low-altitude industry has been signed and delivered offline to over 20 cities and served online in over 80 cities, covering key regions such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Chengdu-Chongqing, and Northeast China. It covers mainstream scenario applications such as low-altitude logistics, government inspection, emergency rescue, and urban low-altitude governance, including major government projects such as the 295 million RMB low-altitude infrastructure in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, the 139 million RMB air-ground integrated infrastructure in Hengshui, Hebei, the municipal low-altitude flight service in Ma'anshan, Anhui, the "one network unified flight" platform construction in Xining, Qinghai, and the low-altitude security in Huairou, Beijing.
Taking the Xiangshan Low-Altitude Marine Test Field as an example, the project is not a one-time investment and construction, but a five-stage industrial development path covering planning, construction, test verification, continuous operation and ecological co-construction. In the planning stage, it researches airspace, environment, supporting facilities, and industrial scenarios; in the construction stage, it builds infrastructure, platforms, and test verification, uniting ecological partners such as the Flight Inspection Center of CAAC and the Fifth Institute to provide airworthiness support; in the operation stage, it conducts equipment, system, scenario, regulatory, and security testing; in the ecological co-construction stage, it links research institutes, equipment enterprises, platform enterprises, and capital. This logic directly affects capital judgment—Gao Jiaxin mentioned that the UK's inspection and testing system has a great impact on capital, because systematic verification capability means controllable risks, replicable models, and predictable commercialization.
Conclusion: Low-Altitude is Not a Point, but a Surface Covered Under the Dome Looking back at the juncture of the implementation of the new "Civil Aviation Law", the biggest enemy of the large-scale low-altitude economy is not immature technology, but the fragmentation of infrastructure and the fracture of verification capabilities. The answer given by GEOVIS Technology's "low-altitude dome" is very hardcore: using full elements to reduce all risks related to flight activities to an acceptable level, replacing scattered and piled-up equipment with a system integrating digital and physical elements, and using computable, verifiable, and operable new infrastructure to undertake the increment of millions of drones.
As Gao Jiaxin stated, the low-altitude economy is definitely not a point; it must be a surface, a huge system of many surfaces together. And the "low-altitude dome" is that layer of boundary born for the balance of safety and efficiency in this systematic era. It aims to be the unsung hero: containing what needs containment, verifying what needs verification, enabling aircraft to fly safely and allowing regulators to rest assured.
