      A \textit{regular system of order \(m\)} of a nonsingular Hermitian variety \(\mathcal{H}(n,q^2)\) of the projective space \(\mathrm{PG}(n,q^2)\) is a set \(\mathcal{R}\) of generators (= maximal subspaces) of \(\mathcal{H}(n,q^2)\) with the property that every point lies on exactly \(m\) generators of \(\mathcal{R}\). Here, \(0 < m < \alpha\), where \(\alpha\) denotes the total number of generators through a fixed point of \(\mathcal{H}(n,q^2)\). A regular system of order \(\frac{\alpha}{2}\) is called a \textit{hemisystem}. In the paper, the authors construct three infinite families of hemisystems on \(\mathcal{H}(5,q^2)\), \(q\) odd.
