The test facility, which received usage approval in June, has a total floor area of 1,000㎡ and is equipped with crane facilities capable of assembling four unmanned surface vessels simultaneously, as well as a water tank with a capacity of approximately 1,000 tons.

The test facility conducts system integration tests divided into ▲platform ▲autonomous navigation unit ▲central control unit ▲wireless communication unit ▲armament ▲surveillance and reconnaissance unit ▲underwater search unit to improve overall performance and operational capabilities. LIG Nex1 plans to utilize this test facility as a venue for simulated tests and pre-functional inspections during the development and mass production processes of unmanned surface vessels.

Kim Ji-chan, CEO of LIG Nex1, stated, "We will do our best to ensure that the completion of this unmanned surface vessel system integration test facility leads to achievements that encompass not only research and development but also mass production and exports."
