The Hera drone is a product researched and developed by Vietnamese people, which has received high praise internationally and is featured in today's product exhibition.
This is a line of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) designed and manufactured by Realtime Robotics Vietnam (RtR) - a domestic technology company.
The device has a maximum flight time of 56 minutes without a payload, 50 minutes with a 1kg payload, and 16 minutes with a 15kg payload. Thanks to its versatile and powerful performance, Hera is widely used in security, defense, search and rescue, and industrial fields. (Photo: Dao Hung)

The ground control system has a range of 20 km and software that monitors critical parameters in real time. The day/night thermal camera system offers up to 4K resolution and long-range zoom capabilities, suitable for reconnaissance and search and rescue operations. (Photo: Dao Hung)
The drones from the Air Defense and Air Force Engineering Institute were also displayed and introduced at the event. These devices are used as flying targets for medium- and short-range air defense missiles, and as interceptor targets for various types of fighter aircraft.
