LIG Nex1 announced on the 17th that it signed a contract with the Defense Acquisition Program Administration for the 'Ballistic Missile Operational Simulation Model Development Project.'
The Ballistic Missile Operational Simulation Model Development Project is a program to develop operational training against ballistic missile threats using modeling and simulation (M&S) to proactively respond to evolving threats. The project is estimated to cost about 33.4 billion won and will run until 2028.
This project aims to enhance operational capabilities by implementing a virtual battlefield using advanced M&S technology. It also enables systematic and repetitive interception training. Through this, it is expected to minimize the gap with actual battlefield environments and actively respond to rapidly changing future battlefield scenarios.
Furthermore, by establishing an independent training system to respond to ballistic missile threats, it enhances the decision-making ability and combat command capabilities of commanders through realistic training.
LIG Nex1 has established air defense systems, including the mid-range and medium-altitude interception system 'Cheongung II' and the long-range surface-to-air guided weapon 'L-SAM' equipped with long-range and high-altitude interception capabilities. Additionally, it has developed various M&S systems, including C4I analysis models and Navy engagement-level analysis models.
Through this project, LIG Nex1 plans to contribute to strengthening Korea's air defense capabilities by developing more precise and accurate high-resolution models for various types of ballistic missiles and air defense systems.
