ABSTRACT: For knowing the present status and development trends of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in China, the paper uses patent analysis method to carry out quantitative and qualitative research based on technology life cycle theory. The research concludes that China’s UAV technology has been in the period of growth stage with large development potential and an increasingly number of technology fields are springing up. But some problems, such as low percentage of invention patent, single type of innovation subject, weakness of innovation ability and imbalance in development of different region, still exist. In order to promote the equalization, standardization and internationalization of UAV industry, the paper puts forward some recommendations.
