Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) announced on the 13th that it has delivered the 'artificial intelligence (AI) based tactical development and training simulation flight training system' to the Air Force for 35.5 billion won.
This equipment is the first training system in Korea to apply reinforcement learning-based AI. It is characterized by AI-based virtual aircraft that learns actual tactical data and autonomously develops tactics.
The Air Force has faced restrictions during large-scale tactical flight training due to airspace limitations and noise complaints. This equipment allows for the creation of situations similar to actual combat scenarios in a virtual environment.
KAI has developed the KF-16 and FA-50 fighter jet simulators based on virtual reality and mixed reality, becoming the first in the world to do so during this project.
KAI explained that various advanced technologies, such as the implementation of virtual aircraft for friendly and enemy roles, the design of complex scenarios reflecting actual tactics, and voice command recognition and response, have also been applied.
KAI has exported a total of over 70 simulator devices to seven countries over the past 24 years.
A KAI official said, 'We will lead the development of core technologies such as next-generation M&S systems and live virtual constructive (LVC) systems to spearhead the military's future power build-up.'
