Abstract

With the rapid development of drone technology, its applications in fields such as geological exploration and emergency rescue in the plateau and mountainous regions of Yunnan Province are becoming increasingly widespread. However, special environmental factors such as low air pressure and strong radiation seriously affect flight safety, and the adaptability of the existing management system is insufficient. Taking Yunnan Province as a sample, this paper systematically analyzes the impact mechanisms of plateau and mountainous environments on drones, focusing on the safety adaptation technologies for core modules such as power systems, navigation, and positioning. Combining with the current management situation in the province, it proposes countermeasures from dimensions such as regulations, supervision, and talent, providing support for improving the safety of drone use in special environments.
