NIA and the Ministry of National Defense announced on the 28th that they had held a performance sharing event for "Jangbyeongeum" at Seoul Peace & Park Convention. The event was organized to share the results of a project being pursued over three years starting in 2024.
At the event, the two sides introduced major features ahead of the platform's full service launch in October. "Jangbyeongeum" is a one-stop defense platform that connects service members from pre-enlistment military classification through active service and, after discharge, reserve duty.
The platform's core lies in integrating 46 dispersed system services covering personnel, administration, welfare, medical care, education and more. Its users include about 7 million people, including 450,000 active-duty service members as well as military families, civilian defense employees, induction candidates and reservists.
"Jangbyeongeum" launched a pilot service in February. So far, about 400,000 people have signed up, and 89% of all service members are using it.
The platform became the first in the defense sector to introduce military mobile IDs and now allows users to check military career certificates and discharge certificates in the app. It also combined identity verification and certificate-use functions around the app so that military families do not need to print family relation certificates separately when using military supermarkets and other facilities, streamlining both identity checks and the process for family access.
The system infrastructure was built on a private cloud for the first time by the Ministry of National Defense. A multicloud structure was applied, with Naver Cloud providing infrastructure services and Kakao Enterprise providing GPU services, and computing resources can be adjusted according to usage.
In February, NIA and the Ministry of National Defense pre-released a beta service consisting of military mobile IDs and 32 core functions, including personnel and administrative services. Afterward, they held on-site meetings to gather user feedback from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, and refined the service by reflecting the feedback they collected.
Through this process, 14 functions were added to the full service launching in October. The added functions include an AI chatbot and the issuance of mobile certificates based on an electronic wallet, bringing the total number of services provided by Jangbyeongeum to 46.
The performance sharing event included a session to present the platform's achievements and demonstrate its key features. This was followed by a lecture from Kim Deok-jin, head of the IT Communication Research Institute, on the direction of defense-sector development in the era of AI Agent, as well as an introduction to how AI can be applied in the defense field.
Along with that, NIA President Kim Hyeong-cheol said that Jangbyeongeum is a core digital transformation platform for the defense sector that connects service members and military families throughout military life. He also said that the full service launching in October will include "The Defense AI Assistant in My Hand" to support service members' military lives.
