From November 18 to 20, the 2025 China International Emergency Management Exhibition was grandly held at the Beijing National Convention Center. This year’s event focused on innovative technologies and equipment in emergency management, fire rescue, disaster prevention, and mitigation, aiming to showcase the latest advancements in the field, foster a robust ecosystem for the safety and emergency response industry, and further drive high-quality development of this sector. Weihang Technology made a prominent appearance with its eight‑rotor tethered firefighting drone system, “Aoqin,” and its four‑rotor tethered firefighting drone, “Aoren,” offering groundbreaking high‑altitude firefighting capabilities that provide cutting‑edge solutions to the challenges of extinguishing fires in ultra‑tall buildings and narrow alleyways.
During the exhibition, Weihang Technology’s booth drew significant attention, attracting numerous leaders from relevant departments and professional visitors who stopped by to engage in discussions. Deputy Minister of Emergency Management Xu Jia’ai, Wei Pingyan, Director of the Big Data Center of the Ministry of Emergency Management, Deputy Director He Ning of the National Fire and Rescue Bureau personally visited the exhibition booth, listening to detailed explanations on technical specifications and potential applications. During the session, Minister Xu Jia’ai specifically inquired about the product’s flight altitude and water‑spray flow rate, among other parameters. Core performance, expressing an attitude toward High-level attention to Weihang’s innovative technological achievements.
In addition, the Guangdong Provincial Emergency Management Department, the Hubei Provincial Emergency Management Department, the Jiangxi Provincial Emergency Management Department, Tianjin Municipal Emergency Management Department, Guangxi Fire and Rescue Corps, Leaders from the Yanqing District Emergency Management Bureau of Beijing and several other organizations visited the booth in succession, engaging in in-depth discussions and receiving guidance on the product’s technical specifications, real-world applications, and potential future collaborations.
At this exhibition, the unique technological approach of ducted-fan drones has also drawn close attention from emergency‑response and fire‑fighting agencies in numerous countries. Professionals from fire‑service and emergency‑management organizations in Germany, Brazil, Thailand, Mongolia, the Solomon Islands, and other nations visited the exhibit one after another. The international guests expressed keen interest in Weihang Technology’s eight‑duct and four‑duct tethered firefighting drone systems, engaging in detailed discussions with on‑site representatives about their technical specifications, high‑altitude firefighting performance, and potential application scenarios in their respective national contexts.
During the exhibition, numerous media outlets visited Weihang’s booth for in-depth interviews. Key platforms—including China News Service, CCTV’s “Innovation China” program, China Traffic Radio’s “Voice of China Emergency,” and the official live‑streaming channel of the China Emergency Management Daily—conducted special interviews with Weihang Technology, helping to broaden the reach of innovative products like “Ao Qin” and further fueling industry-wide expectations for the advancement of smart emergency‑response equipment.
This exhibition not only showcases Weihang’s cutting-edge technological innovations but also fosters deep collaboration with the broader industry ecosystem. Through exchanges with stakeholders across sectors, Weihang has gained a keen understanding of the market’s urgent demand for efficient, safe, and mission‑critical firefighting technologies.
