South Korea is advancing its military AI ambitions through a new partnership between LIG Defense & Aerospace (LIG D&A) and LG AI Research to develop super-large AI command-and-control technologies for the battlefield.
According to The Asia Business Daily, the companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly build defense-specific large language models (LLMs), generative AI technologies, and AI agents capable of analyzing battlefield conditions and supporting faster military decision-making.
Under the partnership, LG AI Research will contribute its AI expertise while LIG D&A will integrate the technologies into next-generation command-and-control systems using its experience in defense platforms.
The companies also plan to apply super-large AI inference and generation technologies to a broad range of weapon systems, including manned-unmanned teaming and future Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) environments.
The agreement builds on South Korea’s broader push to modernize its armed forces with AI.
In recent months, the country has expanded research into AI-enabled battlefield command systems, introduced a secure in-house AI platform for classified defense research, and backed the development of sovereign foundation models for future military and aerospace applications.
