LIG Nex1 said it will showcase an integrated unmanned aircraft solution spanning kamikaze, reconnaissance and transport drones at Drone Show Korea DSK 2026, being held for three days through the 27th at BEXCO in Busan.

At the exhibition, the company is unveiling for the first time an artificial intelligence-based small kamikaze drone. Developed with the Agency for Defense Development, the model can be operated in swarms and uses a canister-launch, multiple-launch method.

LIG Nex1 is also displaying its Medium-sized Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Common Platform (MCUP), a hybrid transport drone with a 40-kilogram payload, a small reconnaissance-and-strike combined drone (MPD), and an “integrated avionics system” tailored to advanced air vehicles (AAV) expected to be used in future urban air mobility.

A company official said, “Based on our advanced capabilities ranging from surveillance and reconnaissance to strike and transport solutions, we will help accelerate the completion of an advanced science and technology force built on manned-unmanned teaming.”
