Bridge - Sweden will help the Vietnam Aerospace Association (VASA) in
technology transfer and development of medium-range unmanned aircraft.
At the
signing ceremony of the cooperation agreement between Vietnam and Sweden on
making unmanned aircraft (UAV) held by VASA on November 20, Professor Nguyen
Duc Cuong, VASA President, stressed the important role of the UAV in the field
of defense and security, search and rescue, protection and management of
forests.
"Vietnam
and Sweden will cooperate to manufacture medium-range unmanned aircraft called
Magic Eye 1,” he said.
Magic Eye 1
weighs 40 kg, with operating time up to 6 hours, maximum flying speed of 200 km
per hour, and the radio communication radius of 100 to 200 km.
Under the
plan, the collaborative project will be divided into three phases. In the first
phase, Sweden will give fund to Vietnam to manufacture two Magic Eye 1. They
will provide Vietnam with equipment, technology transfer, design and send
experts to Vietnam.
In the
second stage, the two sides will cooperate to develop avionics. In the final
stage, they will manufacture UAVs for exports.
According to
experts, the need for UAV in Vietnam is very large. This produce can perform
various tasks such as mapping, surveying, planning, border patrol, search and
rescue.
Compared to
remote sensing satellites, UAVs have several advantages such as having cheaper
price, being able to take high-resolution photos, and the UAV technology is
updated timely and easy.
