On May 4, a delegation of seven—including Niu Jin, Fellow of the China Institute of Communications and Director of the Public Safety Communications Specialized Committee, and former Deputy Director-General of the Science and Technology Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security; Wang Nan, Secretary-General of the China Security & Protection Products Industry Association; and Wu Zhiqiang, Director of the Unmanned Systems Security Professional Committee of the China Security & Protection Products Industry Association, Chairman of the Beijing Emergency Technology Innovation Alliance, member of the Emergency Expert Group of the State Council Work Safety Committee, and former Director of the Beijing Fire Department—visited Beijing Weihang Technology Co., Ltd. for an inspection and exchange. The two sides engaged in an in-depth dialogue on the innovative applications of unmanned equipment in the field of fire emergency response. Leaders of the China Security & Protection Products Industry Association highly commended Weihang Technology’s independently developed ducted-fan, main‑mission firefighting drone, fully recognizing its strategic value in enhancing the efficiency of fire rescue operations and ensuring personnel safety.


At the exchange meeting, Li Ye, founder of Weihang Technology, provided a detailed briefing to the leaders of the China Security Association on the company’s status, its core technological strengths, and the practical outcomes of its products. As an innovation leader in China’s low‑altitude safety and emergency rescue sectors, Weihang Technology focuses on “ High-Load Electric Ducted-Fan Jet Propulsion Technology a breakthrough in research and development, successfully creating The world’s first high-payload ducted-fan flight platform and was the first to apply it in real-world firefighting scenarios.

During the conference, Li also highlighted the company’s latest cutting-edge firefighting equipment: the ducted-fan, high‑altitude tethered main‑battle fire‑extinguishing drone system. This advanced platform integrates efficient fire suppression, rapid response, and flexible deployment, leveraging… High payload capacity, high stability, and strong environmental adaptability and other advantages, successfully overcame the limitations of traditional firefighting equipment in Firefighting scenarios in urban high-rise buildings the operational bottleneck within. In addition, this equipment can also be adapted and reconfigured through a modular design. Firefighting in urban narrow alleys, smart fire protection in chemical industrial parks, and wildfire suppression in forests and grasslands. and various other complex scenarios.

Through on-site video demonstrations, visitors gained a direct understanding of this new type of firefighting equipment. High-flow firefighting at 20–30 L/s Its technological advantages have been fully recognized, underscoring the product’s real-world effectiveness. At present, firefighting in high-rise buildings remains a shared challenge worldwide. Existing firefighting drones generally suffer from inadequate fire-extinguishing capabilities, subpar safety performance, and stringent takeoff‑and‑landing requirements, limiting them to auxiliary roles and preventing them from addressing practical problems head‑on.

In response, leaders of the China Security Association unanimously agreed that Weihang Technology’s flagship firefighting drone represents a major milestone. By adopting a disruptive innovation approach, it has opened up an entirely new avenue for extinguishing fires in high-rise buildings, marking a significant breakthrough in the firefighting sector. This drone not only far surpasses comparable products in firefighting performance but also incorporates multiple layers of redundancy to ensure safety, thereby preventing secondary harm at the fire scene. Moreover, its compact design enables rapid deployment to the incident site, reducing emergency response times by more than 95 percent. Director Wu Zhiqiang stated that this frontline firefighting drone achieves a leap‑forward transformation over existing equipment, whether in terms of… Fire-extinguishing capability, safety performance Still Body dimensions In key performance indicators, the company has achieved industry‑leading standards, positioning itself not only as a pillar of China’s fire‑rescue sector but also with the potential to spearhead global advancements in firefighting equipment. It boasts exceptionally broad application prospects and significant growth opportunities in both domestic and international markets.

Director Niu Jin further emphasized that, under extreme disaster conditions such as earthquakes and floods, traditional communication networks are highly susceptible to collapse, creating an enormous demand for emergency communications and offering vast potential for development. He expressed strong approval of Weihang Technology’s low‑altitude emergency‑rescue multi‑scenario solutions, which are designed to meet comprehensive rescue needs across all types of disasters and large‑scale emergencies. He also noted that Weihang’s ducted‑fan flight platform boasts exceptional versatility, enabling deep customization to suit a wide range of complex rescue environments through its modular redesign approach. This innovative solution provides a practical and effective answer to the challenges of low‑altitude emergency response, with the potential to drive the industry toward more efficient, intelligent, and holistic rescue paradigms.

This visit and recognition from the China Security Association have bolstered Weihang Technology’s confidence. The two parties will continue to deepen their collaboration and promote the widespread adoption of unmanned firefighting equipment. On behalf of the company, Li stated that, in the future, they will seize the opportunities presented by the national low‑altitude economy, steadily increase R&D investment, and strengthen collaborative innovation with industry associations and fire departments. They will accelerate the industrialization of ducted‑fan drones for applications such as fire suppression, rescue operations, and logistics delivery, thereby contributing technological expertise to the development of a comprehensive emergency response system capable of handling all types of disasters.
