植保(bao)(bao)無(wu)人(ren)機(ji)，是用于農林植物保(bao)(bao)護作(zuo)業的無(wu)人(ren)駕(jia)駛飛(fei)機(ji)，該型無(wu)人(ren)飛(fei)機(ji)由飛(fei)行(xing)平臺（固定(ding)翼、直升機(ji)、多(duo)軸飛(fei)行(xing)器）、導航飛(fei)控(kong)、噴(pen)灑機(ji)構三部分組成，通過地面遙控(kong)或導航飛(fei)控(kong)，來實現噴(pen)灑作(zuo)業，可以(yi)噴(pen)灑藥劑(ji)、種(zhong)子、粉劑(ji)等。

中(zhong)國作(zuo)為農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)業(ye)大國，18億畝基本農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)田，每(mei)年(nian)需要大量(liang)的人(ren)(ren)員(yuan)(yuan)從事農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)業(ye)植(zhi)保作(zuo)業(ye)，而我國每(mei)年(nian)農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)藥(yao)中(zhong)毒人(ren)(ren)數(shu)有(you)10萬(wan)之眾。農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)藥(yao)殘留和污染造成(cheng)的病死(si)人(ren)(ren)數(shu)至今尚無(wu)(wu)官(guan)方統計。 同時，農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)村青壯年(nian)勞動力(li)逐漸稀缺，人(ren)(ren)力(li)成(cheng)本日益增加;由于(yu)農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)藥(yao)對(dui)人(ren)(ren)體傷害較大，年(nian)輕人(ren)(ren)不(bu)愿意進行農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)藥(yao)噴灑。“植(zhi)保無(wu)(wu)人(ren)(ren)機(ji)可遠距離(li)遙 控(kong)操(cao)作(zuo)，避免(mian)了噴灑作(zuo)業(ye)人(ren)(ren)員(yuan)(yuan)暴露(lu)于(yu)農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)藥(yao)的危險(xian)，保障了噴灑作(zuo)業(ye)的安全。”有(you)專家預計到2020年(nian)，中(zhong)國植(zhi)保無(wu)(wu)人(ren)(ren)機(ji)需求(qiu)量(liang)是(shi) 10萬(wan)架(jia)，無(wu)(wu)人(ren)(ren)機(ji)植(zhi)保從業(ye)人(ren)(ren)員(yuan)(yuan)需求(qiu)量(liang)是(shi)40萬(wan)人(ren)(ren)。
