According to AI TIMES, SK Telecom participated as the only private company in the 2026 Ground Forces Festival, held from October 1 to 5, and unveiled defense AX technologies centered on an AI aide and a low Earth orbit satellite-based communications system. The exhibition was held at the policy promotion pavilion and focused on showing AI, communications, and security technologies that can be applied directly to military operations. At the center was an AI aide that connects multiple datasets held by the military, structures the meaning of that data, and recreates battlefield situations in a virtual space to help commanders make decisions. The booth was designed so that visitors and military officials could see the full flow from data collection to analysis, battlefield recreation, and decision support, highlighting the technologies' potential for real-world use. It also presented a communications system that combines low Earth orbit satellites with security technology, suggesting a way to secure connectivity and safety even in environments with limited ground infrastructure. The company said it built the exhibition in collaboration with various partners and added that it plans to expand its AX business in the defense sector based on this effort.
Perspective
This exhibition is significant in that it shows how civilian AI and communications capabilities are specifically entering the defense sector. In particular, the approach of combining not just one or two separate technologies but decision support, networks, and security suggests that future competition may shift from equipment itself to integrated operations capability. Ultimately, defense AX is likely to hinge on the ability to connect and run systems stably in ways that match actual field conditions, rather than on technology demonstrations alone.
