south korean army’s new generation wheeled ground unmanned combat vehicle mpugv

according to foreign media reports, south korea recently held the second "responsible use of artificial intelligence in the military field" summit in seoul and released an "action blueprint" aimed at formulating rules for the use of artificial intelligence technology in the military field. south korean media commented that since this year, the south korean military has aimed to "strengthen the army with ai technology" and accelerated the application of artificial intelligence in militarization, with the aim of improving the level of intelligent combat in future battlefields.

according to the "2024-2028 national defense medium-term plan", the south korean military will establish an artificial intelligence leadership organization this year, namely the established "defense artificial intelligence center" and the newly built "national defense comprehensive data center."

the "national defense artificial intelligence center" was officially established on april 1. it is composed of more than 10 military officers and more than 100 civilian researchers. it is the highest-level artificial intelligence research institution in the korean military. the center is mainly responsible for the development of manned and unmanned combat systems, battlefield situational awareness technology based on artificial intelligence, and the construction of various future battlefield environments. at the same time, it is responsible for collecting the needs of various military services in artificial intelligence operations, and studying weapon application and management mechanisms accordingly. the "national defense integrated data center" is an important part of south korea's "ai technology to strengthen the military" strategy. it is mainly responsible for establishing military databases and military internet of things, and using artificial intelligence technology to improve the efficiency of information data collection, analysis and use of the south korean military.

the artificial intelligence armament layout of south korea's various military services has also been gradually advanced. the south korean army has established the "army artificial intelligence center", which consists of the data construction section, the artificial intelligence model research and development section, and the artificial intelligence project management and operation section. it is responsible for the testing of intelligent weapon systems on land battlefields, and provides support for the army's network, air defense, and special operations forces. provide technical support; the south korean navy is forming a marine system development brigade to specialize in artificial intelligence technology; the south korean air force is focusing on uav, anti-uav and reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities. the south korean ministry of national defense announced that it plans to build approximately 90 artificial intelligence combat pilot units by 2028 and 16 training grounds equipped with artificial intelligence simulation equipment by 2032.

south korean media said that the south korean military hopes to strengthen the popularization, promotion and application of artificial intelligence technology within the military by setting up specialized institutions. at this summit, south korea introduced principles, priorities and risk control measures for the use of artificial intelligence in the military field, and promoted the formulation of an international rules framework, aiming to provide a basis for the militarized use of artificial intelligence technology.

in the process of accelerating the military application of artificial intelligence in south korea, several projects have attracted attention. among them, the "national defense cloud" project of the "national defense integrated data center" aims to build an intelligent data center based on cloud computing and promote the battlefield information management system from relying on each military service's own network and system to a model based on the "cloud environment". then build a "unified database" for the national defense information system. the south korean ministry of national defense hopes to use this project to massively upgrade cloud computing-related facilities, cultivate professional talents, introduce a “defense intelligent platform”, and build a “cloud environment” that enables remote working.

the "defense artificial intelligence center" has also launched a generative artificial intelligence tool for internal use. through in-depth learning of hundreds of thousands of military document data, it can answer basic questions raised by various departments and analyze reports reported at all levels. the material is summarized. in the future, this tool will be more widely used in decision-making analysis and other fields, and will be promoted and trialled in various military services.

in addition, the south korean army has selected the "tiger" unit as a pilot unit to test the installation of large-scale ai autonomous artillery systems and bio-simulated robots; the south korean air force is studying the application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of air defense and anti-missile to improve interception efficiency; the south korean navy launched the "coastal ai alert combat system" project can realize automatic detection, identification and warning of targets around the coastline to improve rapid response capabilities. for some time, equipment such as drones, unmanned armored vehicles, and small unmanned boats have become "frequent guests" in south korean military exercises and training activities.

to promote the militarized application of artificial intelligence, south korea has mobilized official and private resources. south korea's national intelligence service proposed establishing a "multi-level security system" to use civilian artificial intelligence technology to empower the military. at present, the "national defense comprehensive data center" has established a cooperation mechanism with the intelligent information society promotion institute, a professional institution for artificial intelligence in south korea, to promote civilian "cloud" projects and expand its scope of use, creating conditions for "civilians for military use"; the south korean army is in with the technical support of the suwon institute of science and technology, the equipment alarm system developed by the nuclear power plant management agency was transformed into a weapons and equipment status detection system. this system can predict and warn against performance degradation caused by equipment aging or failure.

the south korean military also uses technical exchange meetings to recruit artificial intelligence technical talents. the korean society of defense technology recently held "defense artificial intelligence and uavs" seminars in many places in south korea, gathering experts in related fields for discussions around topics such as uav cluster control and high-performance military uav battery manufacturing. in addition, south korea has established artificial intelligence technology cooperation mechanisms with organizations and countries such as nato, the united kingdom, and australia. south korea hopes to conduct in-depth cooperation with relevant countries in the field of artificial intelligence by hosting an international-level summit.
