SK Telecom (SKT) took part in the '2026 Ground Forces Festival,' held from the 1st to the 5th in Gyeryong, South Chungcheong Province, and unveiled defense AX (AI Transformation) technologies based on AI and communications.
Hosted by Army Headquarters, the event was a science-and-technology-based cultural festival where visitors could experience trends in Army technology.
During the event, SKT joined the policy promotion pavilion and, under its defense AX brand 'T military,' exhibited and demonstrated technologies and services that could be applied in actual defense settings. The exhibits and demonstrations included AI Advisor (an AI operations support system), a low-Earth-orbit satellite-based communications system, and security technologies.

At this event, SKT highlighted 'AI Advisor' as its key technology. SKT presented 'AI Advisor' as a system that helps commanders make decisions.
'AI Advisor' consists of a data platform that connects various types of military-owned data, Ontology, which structures the meaning and relationships of data, and Digital Twin, which virtually replicates the battlefield environment.
SKT said that in future battlefields, the rapid analysis and use of vast amounts of data on troops, equipment, drones, robots and sensors will be a critical capability. Accordingly, it proposed a way to organically connect and analyze multiple battlefield data sources through 'AI Advisor.'
SKT also said it configured 'AI Advisor' to support commanders' situational awareness and tactical judgment by providing the necessary information at the right time. It said this was also intended to help commanders make faster and more accurate decisions.
In addition, SKT unveiled a low-Earth-orbit satellite-based communications system and AI-based security technologies to support future combat systems. These technologies were presented as support for AI-based future combat systems, including 'AI Advisor.'
In particular, it unveiled a technology that combines low-Earth-orbit satellites, quantum cryptography and stealth Wi-Fi, with the focus on providing a communications environment and security framework for future battlefields.
Low-Earth-orbit satellites can be used to build a communications network, enabling response in environments where it is difficult to use terrestrial communications infrastructure. Using low-Earth-orbit satellites can also help improve connectivity on future battlefields. SKT added security technologies such as quantum cryptography and stealth Wi-Fi. The aim is to support stable and secure communications in battlefield environments.
Through this exhibition, SKT presented a future battlefield communications system. The system encompasses satellite, wired and wireless, network and security technologies. At the exhibition, SKT also demonstrated its technological capabilities to support the Army's future combat system, Army TIGER+.
Army TIGER+ is a system that integrates science and technology such as AI, data, drones, counter-drone systems, robots, cyber and electromagnetic capabilities into the Army's core combat power. The purpose of the system is to advance the Army's ability to conduct future ground warfare. SKT showed the capabilities that support this implementation at the exhibition.
To prepare for this exhibition, SKT collaborated with partners across multiple fields, including AI, satellites, networks and security. The partners included SK Telink, TechTreeInnovation, Enhance, Mercury, KCS and Pablo Air. Technologies from each field were combined into forms that can be applied to actual operational systems and were displayed at the exhibition. Through this, SKT emphasized the field applicability and scalability of its defense AX technologies.
