The low-altitude economy represents new quality productive forces and serves as a vital direction for future technological convergence and economic growth. The efficient information system and reliable safety control are prerequisites for its healthy and high-quality development,necessitating urgent innovations and breakthroughs in basic theories and core technologies. As an emerging network form characterized by multi-functional integration and multi-application coverage,the low-altitude networking system operates in the high-density and large-scale manner under complex environments,posing significant challenges to existing theories and techniques of the information system and safety control. With the expansion of application scenarios and electromagnetic spectrum usage,low-altitude networks are trending toward multi-source,multi-domain information fusion and dynamic operation. This paper systematically reviews frontier research and key technical progress in three major directions:space-air-ground integrated information networks,intelligent surveillance for low-altitude flight safety,and low-altitude airspace and aircraft control. It discusses critical challenges,specifically covering space-air-ground network collaborative design,low-altitude spectrum allocation and sharing,low-altitude multi-modal integrated sensing and communications,robust foundation models for cooperative surveillance of low-altitude targets,novel security systems for low-altitude intelligent networks,dynamic management and optimized resource allocation of low-altitude airspace,low-altitude multi-modal perception and environmental adaptability,and safety risk prevention and emergency response. Based on the 407th “Shuangqing Forum”,focusing on the philosophy of cross-domain collaboration and dynamic adaptation,this paper summarizes key research directions and urgent scientific problems for the low-altitude information system and safety control centered on the theory of the semantic cognitive decision-making loop. Future development suggestions are proposed to inspire in-depth research and breakthroughs in relevant basic theories,critical technologies,and practical applications.
