Vietnam built unmanned aircraft

On the morning of May 3, 2013, at the testing ground of the Space Technology Institute of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, the High-Technology Science and Information Technology (HTI) Union - km27 Highway Thang Long Ha Noi, the group implementing the project "Research and manufacture unmanned aircraft complex for scientific research" has successfully carried out the test of 3 unmanned aircraft models among 5 specialized aircraft models. Other applications have been completed at the Space Technology Institute.

All 5 types of aircraft are designed to control flight mode automatically according to the pre-programmed programming on digital map background. The aircraft is equipped with camera cameras working both during the day and at night and other specialized scientific research equipment.

For type AV.UAV.S3, AV.UAV.S4, it is possible to extend the range further when using guided satellite communications or ground relay stations.

These aircraft can take off from the runway, from the roof of the car, on the moving platform or by hand.

Chairman of the project, Dr. Pham Ngoc Lang said that the project has been grounded since 2008 by former Deputy Minister of Public Security, Nguyen Van Huong and supported by the former Minister of Information and Communication, Teacher Prof. Dr. Do Trung Ta as the Chairman of the National Council for Science and Technology Policy and chaired by the President of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and Professor Chau Van Minh. group of topics during implementation.

'With the spirit of research, rigorous, rigorous scientific work for 4 years by scientists, engineers and technical workers in the subject group and deploying the topic, today's test results Test results and technical test results took place from April 27, 2013 under the license issued by the Ministry of Defense, so far, the design features are up to standard.

Successful test flight event affirmed that scientists and engineers of the Institute of Space Technology - HTI under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology officially registered themselves as the first Vietnamese people to self Researching and successfully manufacturing unmanned aircraft with Vietnamese brand names. Completely with the creativity of Vietnamese people, " Dr. Pham Ngoc Lang emphasized.

In the coming time, the research group will continue to study to improve new types of aircraft with higher flying ceilings, larger flight speeds and expanding range within the territory of Vietnam, project managers and doctors. Pham Ngoc Lang added.

He also said that right after the flight test program, the Institute of Space Technology will perfect the technique and put it into mass production for scientific research purposes and meet the domestic specialized needs.
