South Korea is considering boosting its defense capabilities by spending 34-million U.S. dollars next year on the development of unmanned boats and mobile surveillance equipment.
Multiple South Korean military sources confirmed that South Korean defense and aerospace company L-I-G Nex-1 is behind the development of the unmanned surface vehicle... called the "Haegeom" .
The South Korean navy has been running a pilot project of the boat since 2017... following an MOU with the Defense Acquisition Program Administration.
Further development for military use is to be finalized after next year's budget has been approved by the National Assembly.
