Progress in the research,development,and application of polar science and engineering technology equipment in China
Polar science and engineering technology equipment plays a significant role in the development of po-lar science and technology,impacting not only polar scientific research and resource utilization but also a nation's security,international standing,and sustainable development.In the context of continuous techno-logical advancements and an increasingly complex international polar situation,the research,development,and application of polar science and engineering technology in China have become particularly important and urgent.This paper comprehensively reviews the development process and latest achievements in the research,development,and application of scientific exploration technology equipment and engineering technology equipment over the past 40 years of China's polar research.It analyzes the current status of China's polar engineering technology equipment development,its gaps with the world's advanced level,and existing issues.This paper also focuses on the problems existing in China's polar scientific research and ex-ploration technology,heavy icebreaker technology,polar aviation technology,and communication and navi-gation technology.It proposes suggestions such as promoting major polar projects and grand scientific plans,building a collaborative innovation platform,strengthening key technology innovation and research and de-velopment,constructing polar testing grounds,improving standardized technical systems,and promoting industrial development.The aim is to rapidly develop and gradually surpass the world's advanced level in the research,development,and application of polar science and engineering technology equipment,better serving China's polar cause development.
