The Heli-E helicopter-type drone, designed for searching people in emergency zones and hard-to-reach areas, was presented at the "National Security. Belarus-2026" forum in Minsk. The system was developed by Belarusian companies aOrion and BELTIMSB.
The device is positioned as an autonomous platform for rapid area surveying and victim detection. Its operation is based on an automated flight mode, allowing missions to be performed with minimal operator involvement.
Heli-E is equipped with an optical camera with 30x zoom and 2K resolution, as well as an infrared camera for operation in low visibility conditions and at night. Additionally, a laser rangefinder is installed, providing distance measurements up to 1.5 km, which increases the accuracy of assessing the situation on the ground.
Of particular interest is the IMSI-catcher module, which can detect the presence of mobile phones within a radius of up to 1 km with positioning accuracy up to 50 meters. This speeds up the search for people, even if there is no visual contact with them.
The drone can stay in the air for up to 105 minutes, performing patrolling and search tasks autonomously. The device's configuration is oriented towards use in rescue operations, monitoring the consequences of emergencies, and surveying complex landscapes.
