Quoc Luong is the driving force behind Real-time Robotics (RtR), the key inventor and leader behind breakthrough systems such as the Hera heavy-lift backpack drone and the OmniSight dual-camera AI gimbal. RtR is built around breakthrough invention rather than incremental improvement, and a culture of measured truth: performance claims must hold up in real-world conditions, not only in lab-perfect setups. RtR’s credibility comes from proving what it claims.

Payload capacity, stability, endurance, and multi-payload integration are tested under realistic mission loads and operating environments. This practical honesty—numbers customers can validate—reduces deployment risk and has helped RtR earn trust among demanding professional and government users. On June 22, 2026, RtR became the only drone company from Asia to receive conditional approval from both the U.S. Department of War (DoW) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). RtR plans to begin UAV production in the United States in 2027. In effect, this marks a transition from exporting finished UAV products to exporting Vietnamese UAV technology, engineering know-how, and manufacturing capability into the U.S. market.

Quoc’s credibility is rooted in an uncommon life trajectory. His early years were defined by severe hardship, including growing up as a street kid and scavenger. He later earned a Fulbright Scholarship; pursued advanced study at Cornell; and completed a PhD at UC Berkeley. At RtR, Quoc combines researcher-level rigor with builder-level pragmatism. He drives ideas from invention through engineering, prototyping, testing, and manufacturable production. RtR’s product philosophy centers on mission reliability, field-ready usability, scalable production, and performance integrity. Most of all, Quoc is known for trustworthiness and purpose.

RtR’s tagline—“Drone Innovation to Advance Humanity”—reflects the standard behind the company: solve real operational problems, build technology that can compete globally, and deliver exactly what is claimed in the real world.
