JOUAV Wins First Prize at Shanghai Science and Technology Awards for Air-Sea Collaborative Drone Project

The 2025 Shanghai Science and Technology Awards have been officially announced, with a project jointly undertaken by Shanghai Jiao Tong University (lead institution) and JOUAV (縱橫股份) as a primary contributor earning the prestigious First Prize. The awarded project, titled "Key Technologies for Unmanned Surface Vessel Swarm Control and Formation Coordination," highlights JOUAV's deep technical expertise and ongoing innovation in air-sea collaboration and core unmanned systems technology.

Shanghai Science and Technology Awards: The Highest Honor in Shanghai's Science and Technology Sector

Established by the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, the Shanghai Science and Technology Awards represent the highest accolade in the city's scientific and technological community. Competition for this year's awards was particularly intense, with the First Prize in the Technical Invention category being especially distinguished. The proportion of high-level awards has risen for three consecutive years, further reinforcing the role of enterprises as primary drivers of innovation.

Project Targets Ocean Monitoring and Unmanned Swarm Coordination

The award-winning project was designed to address complex operational scenarios including ocean monitoring and coordinated maritime missions. As a core project participant, JOUAV played a central role in designing the cross-domain air-sea collaborative control algorithms and took responsibility for developing compound-wing UAVs.

Leveraging its independently developed compound-wing UAV platform, the project team successfully conducted system trials and real-world application validation, establishing a solid technical foundation for the deep integration of USV swarms and UAV systems.

Continued Investment in the Low-Altitude Economy and Maritime Unmanned Systems

This award marks another significant provincial- and ministerial-level science and technology prize for JOUAV in the field of USV collaboration. As China's low-altitude economy emerges as a key national strategic industry and maritime unmanned systems rise to national strategic importance, JOUAV is positioning itself at the forefront of both domains.

JOUAV stated that it will use this recognition as a springboard to continue deepening its work in UAVs and the low-altitude economy, advancing R&D and application of critical technologies in cross-domain air-sea operations and unmanned swarm systems. The company aims to contribute higher-quality intellectual property and technological outcomes to support the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy and the building of China as a maritime power.
