The interaction brought together representatives from Vietnam’s Ministry of National Defence and leading Indian defence industry organisations to exchange insights and explore opportunities across areas including electronics, unmanned systems, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), cybersecurity and advanced defence technologies.
Organised with the support of the Embassy of India in Hanoi, the Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence, Government of India, and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), the event highlighted the growing importance of industry partnerships in strengthening technological capabilities and industrial cooperation.
Strengthening India–Vietnam Defence and Technology Cooperation
India and Vietnam share an Enhanced Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, with defence and security cooperation forming an important part of their bilateral relationship. Both countries have continued to explore opportunities for closer collaboration in defence technology, industrial development, capacity building and knowledge exchange.
Vietnam’s strategic position in Southeast Asia makes it an important partner in the wider ASEAN and Indo-Pacific region. As the regional technology and industrial landscape continues to evolve, cooperation between Indian and Vietnamese organisations can support the development of capabilities, strengthen industrial connections and create opportunities for sustained technological collaboration.
The India–Vietnam Defence Industry Interaction in Hanoi provided a valuable opportunity for businesses and institutions to understand areas of mutual interest, exchange expertise and explore potential partnerships aligned with each country's requirements.
Aeron Systems: Advancing Inertial Navigation and Sensing Technologies
As an Indian deep-tech company specialising in inertial navigation systems and sensing technologies, Aeron Systems develops solutions for applications across aerospace, defence and under demanding operating environments.
The company's expertise in Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) is particularly relevant to applications where reliable positioning and navigation are essential, including environments where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals may be unavailable or unreliable.
Through its participation in the India–Vietnam industry interaction, Aeron Systems engaged with the wider defence technology ecosystem and explored opportunities to connect with industry stakeholders. Such platforms help technology companies build relationships, exchange technical insights and understand evolving requirements across international markets.
Opportunities for India–Vietnam Industrial Partnerships
The growing engagement between India and Vietnam creates opportunities to explore collaboration across several technology areas, including:
Armored Fleet Modernization & 360° Situational Awareness: Engaging with defense enterprises and vehicle manufacturers to explore opportunities for integrating ruggedized navigation hardware and advanced 360° Situational Awareness Systems (SAS). Our goal is to equip main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and combat platforms with combined navigation and real-time panoramic vision to enhance crew survivability in contested, GNSS-denied environments.
Navigation for Stealth Vessels & Unmanned Maritime Systems: Providing high-precision, tactical-grade INS and IMUs as essential shipborne equipment for modern stealth naval vessels, surface craft, and Unmanned Underwater/Surface Vehicles (UUVs/USVs) operating in GNSS-denied waters.
Guidance Systems for Autonomous & Aerial Platforms: Equipping tactical UAVs, MALE platforms, and autonomous ground vehicles with low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) AHRS and navigation solutions designed for strict stabilization and tracking requirements.
Sensor & Payload Stabilization: Delivering flight-proven, 100% ITAR-free orientation sensors to support payload stabilization, directional tracking, and electro-optical equipment across diverse military platforms.
These areas represent potential opportunities for further engagement rather than confirmed outcomes of the event.
Building Long-Term Technology Partnerships in Vietnam
The India–Vietnam Defence Industry Seminar & Exhibition reinforced the value of direct engagement between technology companies, industry organisations and government stakeholders. Meaningful international collaboration depends on understanding current and long term requirements, establishing trusted relationships and developing solutions that meet practical operational and industrial needs.
For Indian technology companies seeking to engage with Vietnam, such interactions provide an opportunity to build market understanding and explore partnerships within Southeast Asia's evolving technology ecosystem.
Aeron Systems values platforms that encourage industry dialogue, technological advancement and international collaboration. The company looks forward to continued engagement with industry stakeholders in Vietnam and exploring potential synergies to contribute its expertise in inertial navigation and sensing technologies to relevant applications in Vietnam and across other South East Asian and East Asian Countries .
