✦ Resumen de IA

Kakao Mobility said on the 6th that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Korea University’s C5ISRT Convergence Research Institute for mutual development in the field of defense AI.

The two institutions will pursue cooperation in developing a manned-unmanned integrated control platform for AI-based command and control, surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as a defense common and standard platform, business cooperation, and training defense AI specialists.

Kakao Mobility expressed its intention to apply its core future mobility technologies and platform operations capabilities to the defense sector, support defense AX, and help strengthen the competitiveness of the domestic defense industry and secure capabilities to respond to future warfare.

Kakao Mobility said on the 6th that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Korea University’s C5ISRT Convergence Research Institute for mutual development in the field of defense AI. Korea University’s C5ISRT Convergence Research Institute is a specialized research organization in the C5ISRT field.

C5ISRT refers to an advanced command-and-control and battlefield awareness system that integrates command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition. Kakao Mobility explained that the agreement was pursued to apply core mobility technologies to the defense sector in line with future defense environments where the use of diverse manned and unmanned integrated systems is expanding.

Accordingly, the two institutions will pursue research collaboration in the development of a manned-unmanned integrated control platform for AI-based command and control, surveillance and reconnaissance, and a defense common and standard platform. They will also pursue business cooperation in the same field.

The two institutions also plan to carry out cooperation in training defense AI specialists.

Kakao Mobility said MUM-T is a joint operations system based on collaboration between a manned platform and one or more unmanned aircraft. A manned platform is one that a person boards and directly operates. MUM-T is being identified as a key future warfare technology amid shrinking troop resources and the growing importance of unmanned platforms such as drones and robots.

Recently, the use of unmanned systems such as drones, quadrupedal walking robots, and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) has been expanding. As a result, efficiently operating heterogeneous equipment within a single system and analyzing information collected in the field to optimize the allocation and operation of resources are seen as key factors.

Against this backdrop, Kakao Mobility CEO Ryu Geung-seon said the company would work with Korea University to apply its core future mobility technologies and platform operations capabilities to the defense sector. He also expressed his intention to actively support defense AX and to help strengthen the competitiveness of the domestic defense industry and secure capabilities to respond to future warfare.

Kang Seok-joong, head of Korea University’s C5ISRT Convergence Research Institute, said that as the use of diverse manned and unmanned systems expands, there is a need for integrated analysis of the vast amount of information collected on the battlefield, and that the results of such analysis need to be rapidly linked to command and control and decision-making. He added that C5ISRT capabilities are emerging as a core element of future defense, and said that Kakao Mobility is a leading domestic mobility company, expressing his determination to pursue cooperation with Kakao Mobility and create meaningful results for the development of future defense technologies.
