LIG Nex1 will join hands with Korea University and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) to develop Korea’s first ‘cyber vehicle core technology’.
LIG Nex1 reported that the ETRI consortium, in which LIG Nex1 and Korea University participated, was selected as the preferred negotiating party in the Defense Technology Advancement Research Institute’s ‘weapon system package type’ project proposal contest for the development of cyber electronic warfare technology.
The ‘Cyber Warfare Core Technology’ task is to develop core technology to neutralize the enemy’s weapon system remotely using wireless communication, without physically seizing or attacking the enemy’s weapon system. This is Korea’s first cyber warfare/electronic warfare convergence core technology task.
This project is Korea’s first cyber-electronic warfare (CEMA) core technology project that combines electronic warfare and cyber warfare. Cyber electronic warfare has the characteristics of being able to preemptively attack and not knowing the attacker, so it can be used in both wartime and peacetime. Additionally, because it can neutralize enemy networks not only in cyberspace but also in wireless space, it can be used in all battlefield environments, including conventional weapons.
LIG Nex1 is responsible for developing intelligence analysis technology, including cyber neutralization information, and electronic destruction technology for wireless communication signals. Korea University is responsible for research on core cyber warfare technologies, development of mobile prototypes, cyber target infiltration, and remote neutralization technologies. In addition, ETRI, which develops vehicle-mounted weapon prototypes, is responsible for developing cyber neutralization precision strike technology.
In order to understand the importance of cyber electronic warfare and prepare for the future battlefield environment, LIG Nex1 plans to simultaneously develop core technologies for cyber electronic warfare in ship electronic warfare equipment-II.
A LIG Nex1 official said, “Recognizing the importance of cyber electronic warfare, which has proven to be of tactical value in modern warfare, we will apply the technology developed in this ‘Cyber Electronic Warfare Core Technology’ project to the latest electronic warfare weapon system.”
