The inaugural general meeting and founding ceremony of the Shaanxi Vicinagearth Society (SVS) took place on August 11 at Northwestern Polytechnical University, located in Xi'an, Shaanxi province in Northwest China.

Shaanxi Vicinagearth Society (SVS) is founded on August 11 in Xi’an.

Vicinagearth security denotes a diversified, cross-domain, three-dimensional, collaborative, and intelligent technological framework catering to defense, production, safety, rescue, and other facets within the ground space. Specific application scenarios encompass low-altitude security, underwater security, and cross-domain security.

Distinct from traditional near-space or airspace, Vicinagearth space encompasses the water, ground, and airspace from 1,000 meters below sea level (the maximum depth of sunlight penetration, the average depth of the South China Sea) to 10,000 meters above sea level (the altitude of civil aviation routes).

Vicinagearth security not only includes regional safety monitoring and protection within the ground space but also extends to safeguarding industrial production, social economy, scientific research, and education, playing a pivotal role in regional security, social stability, and economic development.

Yue Xiaokui, representing the initiating units, warmly congratulated the society's establishment, emphasizing that the formation of the Shaanxi Vicinagearth Society is a crucial step in actively responding to national strategic requirements and fully utilizing the social service capabilities of universities.

Participants concurred that amid the current new domestic and international landscape, the concept of vicinagearth security naturally emerges as China comprehensively implements the overall national security concept and steadfastly advances its path to modernization.

The Shaanxi Vicinagearth Society will concentrate on border, sea, and air defense construction, as well as the developmental requirements of the low-altitude economy. It aims to unite and mobilize relevant scientific and technological personnel in aviation, aerospace, navigation, weapons, electronics, artificial intelligence, and new materials. The society will meticulously execute technological innovation and industrial incubation in the field of vicinagearth security within Shaanxi, hasten the cultivation of fresh driving forces and advantages, and propel the advancement of new high-quality productivity.
