Viettel High Tech: Strategic Integration and Global Expansion in the International Defense Technology Landscape
As the world increasingly demands advanced defense technology solutions, Viettel High Tech (VHT) is solidifying its position as one of the industry’s leading innovators.
At Vietnam Defence Expo 2024, VHT made a strong impression not only by signing six agreements and contracts with international partners, but also by earning international recognition for its military communications system. The Malaysian Army and Ministry of Defence officially acknowledged VHT’s solution as meeting international standards—ready for deployment with the Malaysian Armed Forces. In particular, a multi-million-dollar 5G deployment contract in Dubai, signed during the event, further reinforced VHT’s growing global footprint. These milestones highlight not only the company’s technological capabilities but also its long-term strategy to take Vietnamese defense technology global.
Strong Internal Capabilities – The Foundation of Success
With a display of over 80 high-tech products across 10 technology categories—from UAVs, radars, and 5G networks to Command & Control, Military Communications, Electro-Optics, Simulation, and Electronic Warfare—VHT showcased not just innovation, but also localization capacity. Its technologies are fully developed in Vietnam yet adaptable to specific regional needs.
This adaptability was underscored by MIM Defense (Malaysia), with Mr. Badrul Hisham bin Ahmad Badarudin stating: “The Malaysian Ministry of Defence evaluation shows that Viettel High Tech fully meets our standards. We look forward to working with them to deliver military-grade equipment for the Malaysian market.”
This recognition is not only a technical achievement, but also a testament to Vietnamese defense products’ competitiveness on the international stage. Since its founding 13 years ago, VHT has remained committed to its mission: “Pioneering Technology – Partnering with the World.” Its success is built on the creativity, dedication, and resilience of its engineering teams.
Mr. Kalyan Chakravarthy, Vice President of Quadgen Wireless Solutions, noted: “The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Viettel High Tech is their engineers’ ability to respond rapidly to customer needs. Their R&D capabilities are truly outstanding.”
VHT has relied on human intellect and internal strength to push the boundaries of global technology.
Pioneering Technology – Partnering with the World
Today, Viettel High Tech applies the world’s latest technologies in the design and production of advanced weapons and systems, not only serving domestic defense needs but also extending their reach to global markets. The company has mastered core technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and adaptive high-speed broadband communications.
Partners have praised the real-world performance of VHT’s products. UAVs, electronic warfare systems, and radars have proven highly accurate and effective, even under extreme conditions.
Mr. Salah Ali, a representative of High Cloud Technologies (HCT) in the Middle East, shared:
“Viettel’s products not only meet technical requirements but also deliver real value, helping connect communities and improve quality of life in our region.”
Mr. James Caudle, Asia President of global defense firm John Cockerill, added:
“Viettel is a trusted partner. Their people demonstrate high competence, innovation, and excellent collaboration. We believe our partnership will lead to major achievements.”
This high-level recognition from leading countries is both a validation and motivation for VHT to continue expanding globally.
A Strategic Vision: Bringing Vietnamese Technology to the World
Viettel High Tech’s pursuit of technology mastery goes beyond product development—it is a comprehensive strategy encompassing R&D, manufacturing, testing, operations, and global cooperation. This full-spectrum capability has positioned VHT as a pioneer in defense industry modernization, meeting the Ministry of Defence’s most demanding requirements while advancing Vietnamese technology onto the world stage.
Self-reliance is a key reason global partners choose VHT. “We chose Viettel High Tech not just for the superior features of their products, but also for their ability to offer flexible, customized solutions suited to local conditions. They are an ideal long-term partner,” a High Cloud Technologies representative added.
The achievements at Vietnam Defence Expo 2024 are not just proof of VHT’s technical excellence—they are the result of a strategic vision for international integration. With growing global recognition and strategic partnerships, Viettel High Tech is steadily bringing Vietnamese intelligence to the world, contributing to Vietnam’s rising status on the global defense technology map.
