LIG Nex1 and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) are advancing the integration of AI into military operations, with LIG Nex1 developing an AI-powered command and control system aimed at reducing decision-making time during emergencies. This system utilizes multiple AI models to analyze battlefield data in real time, enhancing operational responses.

Meanwhile, KAI is producing advanced multirole drones (AAP) designed for manned-unmanned teaming, with plans to complete 10 units. The AAP drones will be linked to the FA-50 fighter jets through AI-driven systems.

KAI aims to finalize this integration by 2027, with ongoing demonstrations of the AI pilot technology, Kailot, which has successfully navigated obstacles during test flights. The initiative reflects a broader trend towards AI sovereignty in defense, allowing countries to control their own data.
