LIG Nex1 and Security Platform plan to develop and apply technologies that prevent the theft of defense technologies, starting with unmanned surface vessels and aerial drones. They will also jointly research the application of security technology to military communication equipment, exchange security technologies, and jointly market research results, focusing on the fields of AI and unmanned systems that will lead future warfare.

Since 2019, LIG Nex1 has been co-developing physical electronic device protection systems with Security Platform to shield components that contain critical information to protect weapons systems technology. The goal is to enhance this technology for application in unmanned and export weapons systems and expand it into the defense AI sector.
