High-level technology empowering the low-altitude economy has become an important way to drive the evolution of emerging industries and enhance national competitiveness. It not only changes aircraft operations and airspace management but also reshapes the industrial chain and value creation. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the low-altitude economy, characterized by diverse scenarios, high density, and intelligent connectivity of terminals, is increasingly dependent on advanced technologies such as precise perception, autonomous decision-making, collaborative scheduling, and intelligent supervision. High-level technological self-reliance enhances environmental perception through multi-source sensing and edge computing, reconstructs path planning and autonomous flight paradigms through reinforcement learning and optimization algorithms, and achieves group collaboration and virtual simulation testing through distributed coordination and digital twin technology, thereby bringing systemic improvements in efficiency, safety, and sustainability. At the same time, institutional innovation and policy coordination provide institutional safeguards for the large-scale application of technological achievements, including graded airspace management, tiered airworthiness certification, cross-department collaborative supervision, and pilot sandbox mechanisms. Although high-level technology has significant empowering effects, there are still practical challenges such as technical credibility barriers, institutional adaptability barriers, industrial synergy barriers, and security and sovereignty barriers, which constrain the full release of empowering effects. Therefore, during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, it is necessary to focus on technological self-reliance, coordinate key technology breakthroughs and industrial upgrades, improve laws, regulations, and governance frameworks, accelerate the construction of low-altitude intelligent transportation and supporting infrastructure, strengthen international cooperation and standard-setting influence, and cultivate a multidisciplinary talent team. Through multidimensional coordination among technology, institutions, industry, and talent, the low-altitude economy can transform from quantitative expansion to qualitative improvement, forming a new pattern of high-quality and sustainable development, providing solid support for the construction of the country’s new productive forces.
