Hanwha Systems Partners with 11 Entities for Defense AI Development

Hanwha Systems Co. has entered into memoranda of understanding with 11 universities and companies to develop indigenous AI technologies for defense. Collaborators include Seoul National University, KAIST, and Naver Cloud Platform, focusing on a future battlefield situational AI model aimed at enhancing threat detection and decision-making in air defense.

This initiative arises from concerns over foreign AI systems, which may pose risks such as data leaks and lack of customization. Establishing a domestic AI ecosystem is critical for national sovereignty and security, as emphasized by the company’s commitment to reduce reliance on overseas technology.
