我國119架無人機羣飛創造紀錄

China has tested 119 fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), breaking the previous record of 67 drones, the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) said.

中國電子科技集團公司近日表示，我國成功測試了119架固定翼無人機，打破了之前67架的紀錄。

The 119 drones underwent catapult-assisted take-offs and performed aerial formations.

這119架無人機進行了彈射起飛以及空中編隊。

The CETC said "swarm intelligence" is regarded as the core of the artificial intelligence of unmanned systems and the breakthrough for future intelligent unmanned systems.

該集團稱，“集羣智能”被視作無人系統人工智能的核心、未來智能無人系統的突破口。

The huge scale of low cost and multi-function UAVs could be used in risky tasks such as emergency communications.

大規模、低成本、多功能的無人機可以應用於應急通信等危險任務。

CETC engineer Zhao Yanjie said since drones were invented in 1917, intelligent swarms have "changed the rules of the game."

中國電子科技集團的工程師趙彥傑表示，自1917年無人機發明以來，集羣智能已經改變了飛行規則。

In 2016, the CETC launched a swarm of 67 drones flying together, breaking the previous record of 50 drones by the US Navy.

2016年，中國電子科技集團實現了67架無人機的集羣飛行，打破了此前由美國海軍創下的50架無人機集羣飛行的紀錄。

The drone market in China is expected to reach 75 billion yuan ($11 billion) by 2025, according to an iResearch report last year, Xinhua reported.

新華社報道稱，根據去年的一份艾瑞諮詢報告顯示，到2025年，中國的無人機市場的總規模預計將達到750億元（摺合110億美元）。
