These aircraft are equipped with infrared cameras, cameras with infrared lenses dedicated to night photography for research programs.

On May 26, 2013, at 9 o'clock, these 6 unmanned aircraft continued their planned research program.

Mr. Lang said, the result of successful flight test serving the program 'Tay Nguyen 3' in Da Lat and the results of flight testing for marine scientific research (both flying and night flights) in Nha Trang helped. The research team of the Institute of Space Technology continues to improve the aircraft, put them into mass production for sea-going activities and socio-economic development.
