Hanwha Systems has secured a KRW 93.7 billion contract from the Defense Acquisition Program Administration for the performance improvement of the Allied Korea Joint Command Control System (AKJCCS), which oversees ROK-US combined operations. This project aims to fully redevelop the system, first deployed in 2015, due to operational challenges and the need for technological advancements with the imminent transfer of wartime operational control.

The upgrade will introduce advanced ICT technologies, including AI-based situational analysis, automated decision support, and cloud-based infrastructure, marking the first comprehensive application of AI in a domestic command system. The improvements are expected to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making accuracy for commanders. Security remains a priority, with Hanwha leveraging its experience in defense cybersecurity and ICT convergence to implement a robust command and control system.
