The southern foothills of Taihang Mountains, the highland of Shangdang. At the beginning of 2026, Zhongke Xingtu started construction on the low altitude safety new infrastructure project in Shangdang District, Changzhi City. With "scenario driven+industry empowerment" as the core, it provides a replicable and promotable benchmark sample for the high-quality development of low altitude economy in resource-based cities.
Currently, with the continuous release of policy dividends, the low altitude economy is steadily entering the "construction period", and infrastructure construction has become the primary breakthrough for industrial development. Since the release of the "One Body, Two Wings" strategy in 2025, Zhongke Xingtu has been conquering cities and territories in the field of low altitude economy, signing more than 20 offline contracts. Recently, it has successively landed benchmark low altitude new infrastructure projects worth billions of yuan in Hanzhong, Hengshui, and Changzhi, covering the core markets of Northwest and North China, including three mainstream types of low altitude economic digital infrastructure, sky ground integrated control, and low altitude safety new infrastructure. These three major projects are not only typical practices in the low altitude new infrastructure market after the Two Sessions, but also showcase the mature model and core competitive advantages of Zhongke Xingtu's layout of low altitude new infrastructure, providing replicable and referenceable practical samples for the industry.
Business model: Dual mode adaptation to the market, integrated construction and operation to achieve long-term value
Zhongke Xingtu has tailored its investment, construction, and operation (partner) integration and EPC+full cycle operation and maintenance business models to meet the project needs and development plans of different cities. It has abandoned the shortcomings of traditional one-time delivery and achieved value mining throughout the project lifecycle. This strategy has been accurately implemented in the Hanzhong and Changzhi projects.
Integration of investment, construction, and operation: Deeply binding to local areas, creating urban low altitude economic partners
The Hanzhong project, as a benchmark for low altitude open pilot projects in Shaanxi Province, adopts a 15 year integrated investment, construction, and operation (partnership) model, which is the core practice of the long-term cooperation model of Zhongke Xingtu. The consortium and the government jointly establish a project company to undertake the entire process of investment, construction, operation, and maintenance. The government pays an annual availability service fee and operational performance service fee, and assets are transferred free of charge upon the expiration of the cooperation period. This model not only reduces the current financial pressure on the Hanzhong Municipal Government, but also enables Zhongke Xingtu to lock in long-term stable cash flow for 10-20 years, achieving the transformation from a "project contractor" to a "urban low altitude economic partner".
EPC+Full cycle operation: light assets, low risk, quickly landing in regional benchmarks
The Changzhi project is adapted to the EPC+full cycle operation mode. At the technical level, Zhongke Xingtu is responsible for the full lifecycle delivery of the project from design, construction to operation, ensuring the unity and efficiency of technical standards. Through this mode, Zhongke Xingtu has achieved the rapid landing and technical output of regional low altitude new infrastructure, and created a demonstration model for low altitude safety new infrastructure in Shanxi Province; At the commercial level, this model greatly alleviates the pressure of project construction and provides a solid guarantee for expanding the incremental low altitude market.
The core commonality between the two models lies in the integration of construction, operation, and management, completely bidding farewell to the pain point of "heavy construction and light operation" in the industry, extending project value from the construction phase to the entire operation cycle, and achieving a balance between short-term benefits and long-term value.
Project mode: Ecological consortium architecture, achieving full chain capability complementarity
Faced with the requirements of investment and financing, planning and design, platform construction, scenario operation and other full chain capabilities for low altitude new infrastructure projects at the municipal level,Zhongke Xingtu adopts the ecological consortium bidding model in all three major projects, which takes itself as the core leading party and the overall technical responsible party, and collaborates with local state-owned assets, engineering construction enterprises, navigation operation entities, scenario landing service providers and other multiple entities to form an integrated implementation community of technology control, resource complementarity, risk sharing, and benefit sharing, achieving comprehensive complementarity of qualifications, resources, and capabilities, and becoming the optimal solution for undertaking large-scale low altitude new infrastructure projects..
Low altitude new infrastructure is different from traditional information or engineering projects. It naturally has the characteristics of multi subject, cross domain, strong compliance, and long cycle. It is difficult for a single enterprise to have full chain capabilities at the same time. Zhongke Xingtu is anchored by core capabilities and adheres to the core proposition of "strengthening the air with the sky and controlling the air with calculations". It has built a "1+2+N+M" strategic system and a "five in one" low altitude product system, covering low altitude planning, safety assurance, collaborative supervision, flight services, scenario applications and other aspects, providing systematic solutions for low altitude new infrastructure projects. This enables Zhongke Xingtu not only to undertake low altitude new infrastructure projects, but also to deeply participate in the planning and development of local low altitude economy, becoming a core partner for local governments to develop low altitude economy.
Taking the Hengshui project as an example, Zhongke Xingtu, together with Huati Technology and Huantian Intelligence, successfully won the bid. Zhongke Xingtu provides systematic technical capabilities for low altitude new infrastructure, Huati Technology is responsible for overall scheme design and project implementation and delivery, and Huantian Intelligence empowers projects with satellite remote sensing technology. The strong alliance of three enterprises has achieved a full chain closed-loop of "low altitude new infrastructure+aerospace data+intelligent operation", breaking the limitations of traditional single enterprise contracting large-scale infrastructure projects.
Through the model of ecological consortium, Zhongke Xingtu integrates the resources of the entire industry chain, disperses project risks, allows all parties involved to leverage their professional advantages, and ensures the efficient progress of the entire process from construction to operation of the project. This model breaks the industry status quo of enterprises fighting alone and builds an industrial ecological synergy system for low altitude new infrastructure. Through complementary advantages, resource sharing, and deep integration, it also provides a replicable and scalable collaborative paradigm for large-scale infrastructure projects in the low altitude economy nationwide.
Landing mode: Driven by scenario applications, activate the value of the airspace industry
Different from the general layout of low altitude new infrastructure, scenario driven is the core logical starting point of the Hanzhong, Hengshui, and Changzhi projects at the specific implementation level. At present, many low altitude new infrastructure projects in China are still at the stage of "building platforms and laying hardware", lacking practical scenarios and industrial linkage. Zhongke Xingtu provides a new development logic: the ultimate value of low altitude new infrastructure does not lie in how many platforms and hardware are built, but in whether valuable scenarios can be implemented and dynamic industries can be driven. Only by activating the actual value of the low altitude industry through scenario driven approaches can airspace resources be transformed into "industrial kinetic energy" and achieve sustainable development of the low altitude economy.
Taking the Changzhi project as an example, Zhongke Xingtu is guided by the three core pain points of safety production, mountain ecological protection, and urban refinement governance in Changzhi resource-based cities, creating customized, implementable, and effective low altitude application scenarios. Currently, the three core scenarios of tailings pond monitoring, forest fire monitoring, and illegal construction monitoring have been put into use. Transforming low altitude new infrastructure from "built for construction" to "built for use", from "technological accumulation" to "solving practical problems", and making low altitude new infrastructure truly "down-to-earth, grounded, and effective", laying a solid foundation for industrial empowerment.
If scenario driven is to make Changzhi's low altitude new infrastructure "come alive", then industrial empowerment is to make the low altitude economy "strong". In the Changzhi project, Zhongke Xingtu takes low altitude safety new infrastructure as the foundation and core scenarios that have already been implemented as application samples. By building a public technology platform, creating testing and verification bases, and linking local industrial foundations, it upgrades from "single scenario applications" to "full industry chain aggregation", enabling low altitude technology to not only solve problems, but also drive industries, and promote low altitude economy to become an emerging pillar industry for high-quality development in Changzhi.
The successful implementation of the "scenario driven+industry empowerment" model is a two-way adaptation between the full chain technological capabilities of the Zhongke Xingtu consortium and the local resources and policy needs of Changzhi, forming a triangular support system of "enterprise technology empowerment+government policy support+local demand traction". This is also the core key to the implementation and activation of industrial value of this model.
Conclusion
The landing of the three benchmark projects of Zhongke Xingtu Hanzhong, Hengshui, and Changzhi outlines the clear outline of its layout for low altitude new infrastructure: adapting to market demand with different business models, integrating industrial ecology with ecological consortium architecture, and accelerating the landing of low altitude new infrastructure with scenario applications as the driving force.
With the low altitude economy becoming the core track of industrial development during the 15th Five Year Plan period, the innovation and practical exploration of Zhongke Xingtu's model will continue to promote the standardization and scale development of low altitude new infrastructure, providing a replicable path for more enterprises to participate in low altitude economic construction and important inspiration for the industry
The competition for low altitude new infrastructure is no longer a competition of funds and hardware, but a comprehensive competition of technology, ecology, and operational capabilities; The development direction of enterprises is no longer a single project undertaking, but a transformation from "contractors" to "partners", and an upgrade from "building projects" to "doing ecology".
In the future, China Science Star Map will continue to focus on aerospace information technology, deepen the field of low altitude economy, promote the deep integration of low altitude economy with urban governance, industrial upgrading, and people's livelihood services, make low altitude economy an important engine for the development of new quality productivity, and help Chinese path to modernization construction.
