South Korean consortium to develop USV platform and systems for ROK Navy

These platforms are intended to perform surveillance, reconnaissance, and combat missions while using AI-based automation to reduce potential casualties.

The project, promoted by the Defence Acquisition Programme Administration and the Defence Technology Advancement Research Institute, aims to secure technology for the Batch-II combat USV system.

This development is a component of the Republic of Korea Navy's manned-unmanned combined combat system, known as “Navy Sea GHOST”.
