The Central Viet Nam Drone Academy on Saturday opened at the headquarters of the University of Da Nang (UDN), 41 Le Duan. It is the first of its kind in Central Viet Nam to issue drone operation certificates, train human resources on drone technology applications in the digital transformation era. In particular, it is also the first drone academy in Viet Nam to apply virtual reality technology VR - VR360.

A showcase of drone maneuver took place at the headquarters of the University of Da Nang on Saturday, attracting a great deal of attention from the general public, especially UDN staff and students

The academy’s establishment was based on bilateral cooperation of the UDN Software Development Centre of University (SDC) and the AGS Technologies company.

The academy’s training and assessment protocols strictly adhere to the curriculum of the Unmanned Aerial Systems Training Centre (UTC) under the world's leading drone manufacturer DJI, which in turn abides by Viet Nam’s regulations on drone operations for civilian purposes.

Also on the same day, SDC held a showcase of drone maneuver, attracting a great deal of attention from the general public, especially UDN staff and students.

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as ‘drones,’ has been thoroughly propagated among civilian affairs in Viet Nam over recent years.

Flying cameras, which are photographic devices where a camera is mounted to a drone to attain aerial shots, is one of the most popular drone applications at the moment.

Other uses of the aerial vehicle include pesticide spraying in agriculture, wind energy, solar energy, remote sensing, and emergency rescue.

For example, agronomists, agricultural engineers and even farmers are turning to UAVs to accurately plan and manage their operations. Unlike traditional seeding methods, new techniques allow the seeds and the nutrients required to foster germination to be placed onto the ground in exactly the right location. This allows for a reduction in costs while increasing the planting quantity.
