在数字化转型的浪潮中，云计算、大数据、IoT和人工智能等新技术正以第四次工业革命为标志，推动民航产业向前发展。科技创新成为了新旧动能转换的关键力度，智慧机场建设的呼声日益高涨。2018年11月28日至29日，在山东济南举办了中国民航信息化与人工智能高峰论坛，该论坛深入探讨了云计算、大数据、人工智能在民航领域的应用，并就智慧机场建设等议题进行了专题讨论。
随着智慧机场建设不断推进，安防行业迎来了巨大的机遇。许多安企洞察市场趋势，争取成为智慧民航引擎，为民航高质量发展提供强有力的支持。
经济社会正在经历一次重大变革——数字化转型正处于一个关键时期。在这一背景下，航空业也在迅速变化。据国际航空运输协会（IATA）统计，在2016年通过航空运输的国际贸易额达到了5.5万亿美元，而到2017年，我国累计完成周转总量1083.1亿吨公里，其中国内航线完成694.6亿吨公里占比64%，国际航线累计完成388.5亿吨公里同比增长14.1%。
互联网、大数据和人工智能等数字技术正在深刻改变经济模式和生活方式。航空运输行业需要利用这些技术来实现降本增效。
airports are undergoing a transformation, becoming "smart" and "green". The defense industry is also taking notice, with many companies positioning themselves to capitalize on the growth of the aviation sector.
Several companies are already making their mark in this space:
Huawei provides one-stop ICT solutions and products that help airlines digitize their operations.
Swire Pacific Offshore offers airport face recognition solutions that streamline passenger processing.
Cloudwalk uses AI technology to assist in aviation reform.
Guangtai focuses on perimeter intrusion detection systems for airport security.
Jinwamama develops patrol products for secure air travel.
In conclusion, airports are an important market for defense applications, and the aviation industry is poised to become a major opportunity for defense firms. As innovation continues, we can expect the construction of smart airports to move forward with renewed vigor.
