Oheim & Company announced on the 26th that it has acquired 3Di, a company possessing the highest level of aviation video solution technology in Korea.
3Di is a company that owns flight simulator technology with an error rate within 3% of the actual environment. It holds a total of 37 industrial and intellectual property rights related to this technology and has obtained a T-4 grade (the highest grade for small and medium enterprises) in technology credit evaluation from NICE Information Service (a technology credit evaluation agency), showing favorable prospects for a technology-specialized IPO in the future.
Additionally, 3Di, which meets the Defense Acquisition Program Administration’s requirements for FFS (Full Flight Simulator) Level D technology, provides highly efficient training simulators that allow users to learn various scenarios and procedures at one-tenth the cost of actual flight. Since 2018, it has recorded a total of 20 deliveries to Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), receiving recognition for its outstanding technology.
Na Hyung-gyun, CEO of Oheim & Company, stated, “After acquiring Oheim & Company, we have been continuously reviewing businesses with the highest technology in related fields that can expand globally for business diversification. We decided to acquire 3Di because of its unique simulator technology and its potential for global expansion.” He added, “The aviation simulator technology currently held by 3Di is world-class. After the acquisition, we plan to expand the domestic and international fighter jet-related simulator business based on 3Di’s technology and participate in related industries such as parachute simulators, digital twins, leisure simulators, and urban air mobility (UAM).”
Meanwhile, according to flight simulator market analysis data provided by Research and Markets, the global flight simulator market is showing a high growth rate with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%, and the South Korean flight simulator market is also expected to grow from $94.6 million in 2019 to $115.9 million in 2025, with a CAGR of 5.4%.
