Spacebank Co., Ltd. (CEO Wonhee Lee), a company specializing in Intelligent Digital Transformation (AIDX), announced that it participated in the "Defense AI Technology Exchange Seminar" held at the Pangyo Startup Campus on September 12th. The event, co-hosted by the Army Training and Education Command and Sungkyunkwan University, was designed to share strategies and business ideas for advancing AI in the defense sector.
The seminar was attended by AI experts from industry, academia, research institutes, and government agencies working to promote defense reform. Government and public organizations, including the Ministry of National Defense, Defense Acquisition Program Administration, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, and Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, as well as major defense and ICT companies, including Hanwha Aerospace, Hyundai Rotem, Samsung SDS, KT, Oracle Korea, Conan Technologies, and Space Bank, also attended.
In his opening remarks, Kim Gwang-soo, Director of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence Convergence at Sungkyunkwan University, stated, "As the recent Russia-Ukraine War demonstrates, the application of AI in the defense sector is essential." He added, "For this purpose, cooperation between the military, academia, and industry is crucial. Sungkyunkwan University will also actively contribute to the development of future defense AI."
At the seminar, the Army unveiled its strategy for comprehensive AI adoption. Lieutenant Colonel Jang Bo-yeon of the Army Headquarters Policy Office presented a blueprint for ▲AI-based border operations systems and ▲intelligentization of manned-unmanned combined combat systems. He explained that the Army plans to simultaneously build common and mission-specific data to meet system-specific needs. He also explained that AI is being applied to command, control, and administrative tasks through cloud-based systems, while combat systems below the corps level utilize edge AI and on-device technology to enhance battlefield efficiency.
At this seminar, Spacebank presented a presentation focused on the Software Defined Robot (SDR) platform and Physical AI. The presentation emphasized the importance of a software-defined service-based platform for integrating AI and physical devices in the software domain, linking virtual software environments with real-world outcomes.
Space Bank CEO Wonhee Lee said, “It is essential for the direction of the ultimate next-generation defense DX solution as it can expand and apply software-based intelligent functions to physical equipment such as drones, robots, and sensors.” He added, “Based on our industrial DX experience, Space Bank will present an SDX (Software Defined Experience) model that combines intelligent services that can be applied in the defense field.”
Space Bank currently possesses ▲ “RoboViewX,” a heterogeneous robot control solution based on SDR (Software Define Robot), and ▲ “Spider Wright,” a data analysis platform for integrated control of heterogeneous equipment such as AIoT and sensors and AI-based predictive maintenance solution, and is conducting research to expand the application of these to the defense field, including manned and unmanned systems in the defense field and the defense AXDX area.
Kim Byeong-gyu, director of the Future Defense Convergence Research Center at Sungkyunkwan University, said, “We will continue to hold industry-academia-research cooperation seminars to smoothly apply physical AI to the defense sector.”
