Dominating 50% of the Market: How Beijing Dagong Technology’s Tethered UAV Surpassed 50M Orders in the Low-Altitude Economy

Beijing, China — In a definitive display of market dominance, Beijing Dagong Technology has officially surpassed 50 million RMB in order value for 2025, securing an unprecedented 50% share of China’s tethered UAV market. This milestone, catalyzed by a recent multi-million-dollar Series B investment from Ivy Capital, firmly establishes the "Specialized and Sophisticated" enterprise as the undisputed leader in the low-altitude economy and validates tethered drones as the new standard for critical aerial infrastructure.

Unlike conventional consumer drones that prioritize fleeting flight times, Dagong Technology has engineered a paradigm shift: transforming unmanned aerial vehicles into permanent "airborne infrastructure." This strategic positioning has resulted in exceptionally high customer lifetime value, characterized by premium unit pricing, robust repurchase rates, and unmatched client stickiness. Operating with a lean, elite team of under 50 professionals, the company’s surging sales figures reflect extraordinary per-capita output and operational efficiency, distinguishing it from bloated, scattered competitors in the broader drone industry.

The foundation of this market hegemony is a decade of relentless technological accumulation, culminating in five core technological engines that construct an impenetrable competitive moat. At the heart of the system is a proprietary ground-based high-voltage power supply, transmitting thousands of volts of direct current through an optoelectronic composite tether cable. This is coupled with an ultra-light, high-efficiency airborne power module that steps down the voltage, vastly outperforming traditional industrial power sources in density and reliability.

Flight stability—the Achilles' heel of long-endurance hover—is guaranteed by Dagong’s dual-redundant flight control system. Featuring an automatic power-loss safeguard that enables a safe 30-second descent during outages, and an advanced anti-wind algorithm, the UAV achieves a hovering precision of within 0.3 meters—even amidst Force 7 gales at altitudes of 5,600 meters on the Tibetan border. Furthermore, with a payload capacity of 35 kilograms at 300 meters and a maximum operational ceiling pushing the industry boundary at 600 meters, Dagong’s tethered UAV system offers unparalleled versatility.

This formidable hardware pedigree has driven deep penetration into high-value sectors. In emergency communication, Dagong’s tethered UAV high-altitude base stations have been the vital lifeline during the nation's most catastrophic events, including the Jiuzhaigou earthquake and the Typhoon Doksuri rescue operations across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. In the broadcast domain, a decade-long partnership with CCTV has seen Dagong’s platforms deliver zero-error, 12G-bandwidth real-time 4K feeds from the "helmsman’s perspective" during the 70th National Day Parade and the Centenary Celebrations at Tiananmen Square. Meanwhile, in national defense, the systems provide persistent, tower-replacing surveillance across borders and coastlines.

Such landmark achievements have not gone unnoticed by the state. In 2025, Dagong Technology’s tethered UAV system was proudly exhibited at the National Museum of China’s "New Horizons of Network Development" achievement exhibition, cementing its status as a national benchmark in network communication technology.

Strategically headquartered in Beijing’s Yanqing Drone Industrial Park—China’s inaugural Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Test Zone—Dagong Technology leverages unparalleled operational freedom. "In Yanqing, we can fly right out of the door," states Deputy General Manager Zhang Jie. The streamlined airspace approval process via mobile app drastically reduces R&D costs and accelerates product iteration cycles, granting the company a distinct time-to-market advantage.

Looking ahead, Dagong Technology is rapidly evolving from a device supplier into a comprehensive "Space-Air-Ground Integrated Solution Provider." With a complete product matrix covering 50 to 400-meter altitude limits, over 100 independent intellectual property rights, and modular payload interfaces compatible with 5G base stations, environmental monitors, and LiDAR, the company is unlocking boundless cross-industry applications.

"We don't just want the world to see China through our lenses; we want Chinese standards to lead global industry development," asserts founder Shen Shizhou. Backed by the national low-altitude economy strategy—projected to scale a 50-billion-yuan industry in Yanqing alone by 2026—Beijing Dagong Technology is not merely dominating the tethered UAV market; it is writing the rulebook for the future of aerial infrastructure worldwide.
