Scope: This document specifies the construction and operation requirements for small and light-duty end-logistics drone systems. This document applies to drone logistics service systems with an empty weight of no more than 116kg, a maximum takeoff weight of no more than 150kg, and an airspeed of no more than 100km/h; Main technical content: The potential of unmanned logistics is huge. How to apply "high-end and sophisticated" unmanned logistics technologies on a large scale and form a replicable and easy-to-promote unmanned operation system will be the next step for many logistics enterprises. According to the "2018 World Drone Conference", the global commercial drone industry will continue to develop rapidly in the next five years, and the total market value will reach $15 billion by 2022, with huge market prospects. As the unmanned operation system continues to mature, the three-stage aviation network of "trunk-line large unmanned transport aircraft, branch-line large unmanned aircraft, and end-stage small unmanned aircraft" will gradually be perfected, and the logistics industry may break through the "last-mile" logistics bottleneck and accelerate the realization of nationwide delivery within 36 hours. This standard is formulated in accordance with relevant national laws and regulations, drawing on useful foreign experience, to provide a basic basis for the construction and operation of small and light-duty end-logistics drone operators. It enables such operations to have standards to follow, improves the safety level of small and light-duty end-logistics drone operation systems, and promotes the healthy development of the small and light-duty logistics drone industry. Based on a comprehensive consideration of various factors such as people, machines, environments, and software of the drone system, it sets various functions and related indicators of the system requirements, which is very important for improving the operation control ability and ensuring the fligh
