On the 20th, Gaonai announced that it had established a defense-focused organization, the Defense Business Division, and would push ahead with expanding its military AI and cloud business. The company said it had established an organizational foundation by building a dedicated professional structure to handle defense-related business.
Gaonai has hired Vice President Kim Kyung-hwan. Kim has more than 30 years of experience in the defense SI field. Gaonai also hired Executive Director Shin Hwan-su, who has more than 20 years of experience in the C4I field.
In the defense sector, there is a growing trend toward combining AI and cloud services with individual operating systems such as command and control systems, training, simulation, and document and records management. As a result, demand is rising in the defense IT market for companies that have both infrastructure operation experience and AI capabilities.
Gaonai plans to expand its defense IT business by combining its experience in building and transitioning existing systems with AI technology. As the basis for this push, the company has experience carrying out public administration system building and transition projects.
Gaonai carried out the cloud migration project for the 'On-Nara Document' system. It also participated in the local government Onnara expansion project and carried out the presidential records preservation processing and forensic equipment deployment project. In addition, it has accumulated experience in public-sector system transition and IT infrastructure buildouts.
In September, Gaonai brought AIRI into the group as an affiliate. The purpose of the inclusion was to strengthen AI capabilities. AIRI is an AI specialist company founded in 2016.
AIRI holds registered patents in Vision AI and motion capture. It also carried out projects ordered by the Ministry of National Defense, including the Seoul (Yangjae) Air Force AX Cooperation Center, the Pangyo Army AX Cooperation Center, and military-specific AI training programs. AIRI is also taking part in defense AI transformation (AX) projects. Gaonai has experience in public and defense system transition, while AIRI has AI technology capabilities, and the combination of the two companies' strengths has advanced efforts to secure a business foundation in the defense AI transformation area.
Adding to that is the newly appointed Vice President Kim Kyung-hwan. Kim has led the development of Linux supercomputers, the Iraqi backbone network buildout project, the Combined Forces Command and Control System (KJCCS) project, the Allied Combined Command and Control System (AKJCCS) project, the Air Force Tactical C4I System (AFCCS) project, and a realistic science-based training system project. Kim is a veteran of large-scale SI and infrastructure projects in the defense and public sectors.
It is noteworthy that his experience in large-scale defense infrastructure is linked to GPU-based AI infrastructure projects, and his history of handling large volumes of data is linked to data-driven AI services. Executive Director Shin Hwan-su has accumulated expertise in developing defense command and control systems such as the Combined Forces Command and Control System (KJCCS) and the Naval Tactical C4I System (KNCCS), and also has experience in analyzing and developing GRIB weather numerical forecast data for the Integrated Disaster Management Information System of the Ministry of National Defense.
Based on this experience, Gaonai will use the launch of the Defense Business Division as an opportunity to pursue military AI and cloud projects. The company plans to strengthen the division's project execution capabilities based on the two executives' experience in building and developing defense systems, and to expand its business scope to tactical system buildout and operations on the basis of its existing defense SI capabilities.
Gaonai also has experience in AX Cooperation Center projects, Onnara, records-related projects, and GPU deliveries. The company plans to combine its specialists' capabilities in building and developing defense systems with AIRI's AI technology, and on that basis, expand its business into the broader defense IT sector.
Gaonai said it established the Defense Business Division to concentrate its accumulated defense-related business capabilities in a specialized organization and accelerate business expansion in earnest, and CEO Jo Chang-je explained that the goal was to concentrate existing defense-related capabilities into a specialized organization and expand the business in earnest. The company said it plans to combine its accumulated experience in building and transitioning systems in the defense sector, the field experience of its specialists, and AIRI's AI technology to expand into military AI and cloud business, as well as tactical system buildout and operations.
