The AV-BXL 01 fixed-wing UAV, developed by the General Department of Defense Industry, weighs over 10 kg, has a maximum flight time of 10 minutes, a service ceiling of 1,000 m, a 10 km operating radius, and a target approach speed of 150 km/h. (Author or source)

Outside the exhibition center, Viettel showcased a long-range, multi-purpose UAV developed and manufactured in-house. This strategic-level UAV is capable of real-time reconnaissance, target designation, electronic warfare, communication relay, and attack missions thanks to its multi-payload capacity.

With its long endurance and extensive range, the UAV can operate in diverse terrains, from inland and border regions to maritime and island environments, even under challenging weather conditions.

Next to it was the BTS-99 reconnaissance UAV, with a service ceiling of 3 km and a cruising speed of 80–108 km/h. Equipped with day and night surveillance cameras, it can be recovered by parachute. (Author or source)

At the Ministry of Public Security's booth, the MCH helicopter UAV was introduced, featuring flexible takeoff and landing capabilities, a maximum speed of 54 km/h, and a 40-minute flight time within a 15 km range. This UAV is well-suited for surveillance, security, and rescue support in confined spaces. (Author or source)

The UAV-50, manufactured by Z113 Factory, is designed for aerial firefighting, enhancing safety for firefighters in hazardous areas. It measures 2,500 × 2,500 × 600 mm, has a maximum weight of 50 kg, a 5 km operating radius, a 15-minute flight time with full payload, and an effective firing range of approximately 30 m.

The UAV-50's ability to reach high and confined spaces inaccessible to conventional firefighting equipment makes it valuable for fire suppression, rescue, and recovery operations.

The Horus UAV, commemorating the 80th National Day, is a long-range observation aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing. It weighs 10-12 kg, has a maximum payload of 1 kg, a communication range of 15-20 km, and a flight time of 1.5-2 hours.

Its maneuverability and wide operating range make the Horus suitable for reconnaissance, area surveillance, and search and rescue missions.

The Hera multi-purpose UAV, developed by Dr. Luong Viet Quoc's company RtR, has a foldable design that fits in a backpack yet can lift up to 15 kg. According to the manufacturer, Hera's payload capacity is 10 times greater than that of similarly sized UAVs. (Author or source)

Also featured was the QXL.01 combat UAV, manufactured by Z131 Factory. Its quadcopter design enables vertical takeoff and landing, facilitating deployment in complex terrain. Weighing approximately 8 kg and carrying a 1.2 kg armor-piercing warhead, it can penetrate steel up to 250 mm thick.

The QXL.01 reaches speeds of 60–80 km/h, has a service ceiling of 1,000 m, and a 10 km operating range, with a target attack accuracy within 2 m. Compared to the fixed-wing BXL.01, the QXL.01 is more versatile, rapidly deployable, and suited for operations in confined areas and complex terrains.
