NHN Cloud is collaborating with Korea University to establish a cloud platform for defense artificial intelligence transformation (AX). The initiative aims to apply cloud technology to defense common and standard platforms as well as battlefield systems, while also expanding into areas such as defense AI data centers.
On September 16, NHN Cloud announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the C5ISRT Convergence Research Institute of Korea University's Graduate School of Technology Management at its headquarters in Seongnam.
Under this agreement, both parties will pursue joint research and technology development in the C5ISRT field, which focuses on advanced command and control and battlefield awareness systems. The collaboration will also include planning, proposing, and executing related research and development projects, including AI command and control systems.
NHN Cloud plans to conduct research and development to apply its cloud platform to defense common and standard platforms and C5ISRT testing systems. This initiative aims to establish a cloud platform that reflects the unique characteristics of the defense sector.
NHN Cloud is already involved in cloud projects within the defense sector. It is supplying a closed private cloud environment and Desktop as a Service (DaaS) for the 'Combined Command and Control System (AKJCCS) Performance Improvement Project' for U.S.-South Korea joint operations. The company is also participating in the 'Super Large AI-based Command and Control System Technology Development Project' utilizing a large language model (LLM) and is currently in the technical negotiation phase.
Based on this agreement, both parties will advance research and development in the fields of defense battlefield cloud and AI cloud. NHN Cloud will also provide resources, technology, and training necessary for the application of defense platforms and C5ISRT testing systems, with an investment support of 10 billion won.
Kim Dong-hoon, CEO of NHN Cloud, stated, “The AI transformation in defense requires not only AI technology but also a cloud-based platform that can be reliably utilized and research and development capabilities to apply it to actual defense systems. Through our collaboration with Korea University's C5ISRT Convergence Research Institute, we will expand our research investments to apply NHN Cloud's platform to the defense sector and broaden the foundation for specialized battlefield cloud platforms and defense AX initiatives.”
