The Ministry of Defense has launched a new wave of unmanned machine purchase plans, with a total budget of up to 5 billion yuan. It is expected that more than 48,000 unmanned machines will be purchased from 2026 to 2027. Among them, MCUs (microcontrollers) are brain and nerve centers controlled by unmanned aircraft, and will drive New Tang, Sheng Qun and Songhan to attack the military and civilian markets.
According to research and development data, the global unmanned aircraft market size is approximately US$3.72 billion in 2024, and it will reach US$15.72 billion in 2034. The annual synthetic growth rate will reach 15.5% in the next decade. The United States remains the largest demand country, but the growth rate in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to rank first from 2025 to 2034, and China's military unmanned aircraft market ranks first in the world.
MCU (microcontroller) is a brain and neural center with no human flight control. NTD has launched a flying motherboard with the Cortex-M4 M452 as the core, which supports online attitude PID adjustment and sensor calibration, and integrates 10-axis sensor fusion (update rate 500Hz), fixed height, headless mode, as well as out-of-control protection, automatic landing and other functions.
New Tang Non-Manned NuMaker Drone Control Board provides complete flying control, remote control and power reference designs, which can help the system factory to produce quickly and target the heavy applications of military and civilians. As for the Non-Manned Boat Opportunities, it provides a complete solution, integrating Wi-Fi, mirrors, and a variety of solution options.
Shengqun has deeply cultivated 2.4G RF control technology, widely used in model aircraft, providing low-latency and stable flight control communication capabilities. The charger IC and BMS battery solution cover charging, protection and power monitoring. Its 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0/M3/M4 series ultra-low power consumption MCU has high integration and anti-interference characteristics, and supports motor control, battery management, sensor data acquisition and remote reception and other scenarios.
Songhan locks high-resolution graphics requirements, adopts H.264 hardware encoding and combines wireless communication protocol optimization and real-time operation system (RTOS). End-to-end image delay is only 40 milliseconds, the transmission distance can reach 8 kilometers, and supports full-time recording, MAVLink message display and USB output, and provides a complete SDK for convenient customization applications.
Legal person analysis, the Ministry of Defense's new wave of unmanned aircraft purchase plan of 50 billion yuan is expected to lead to comprehensive upgrade of the local unmanned aircraft supply chain, from core flying control MCU, 2.4G RF wireless control and BMS battery management, to picture chips, among which New Tang, Shengqun and Songhan are aggressively attacking the military and civilian market, and are expected to usher in a new wave of demand.
