Huneed, Korea's First Wireless Network Module Development

Wireless Communication Possible Without Facilities Like Base Stations
Evaluation of Core Technologies for Manned-Unmanned Combined Combat Systems in the Military

Defense company Hunid Technologies (hereinafter Hunid) has developed MANET and FANET technologies that can be mounted on unmanned systems for the first time in Korea. This technology uses a method of direct communication between terminals without using communication infrastructure such as base stations.

On the 7th, Hunid stated, "MANET and FANET are advanced wireless network technologies capable of wireless communication without facilities such as base stations or relay stations," and added, "They are core technologies for manned-unmanned combined combat systems."

Recently, the Army's Tiger Boost project was also recognized for its practical application. The 'Army Tiger Boost Project' is an advanced technology pilot operation program led by the Army Headquarters Future Innovation Research Center's Army Tiger Office. It was conducted over two weeks in June this year at an urban area operation training ground. The project was established to rapidly integrate advanced technologies such as AI into the Army's weapons and power systems and deploy them in actual combat.

In January this year, Hunid signed a joint cooperation export agreement with the UK company Codan Communications DTC to expand exports. DTC, a strategic partner, is a global leader in tactical communications supplying various communication systems used by military and police forces in 18 NATO member countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.

The newly released products come in two types: 'L type' and 'M type.' The L type focuses on product lightweighting to be mounted on small unmanned aerial vehicles. The M type focuses on high output to be operable not only on unmanned aerial vehicles but also on robots and vehicles.

The export potential is also significant. DTC recently sent a letter of intent (LOI) for purchasing Hunid-developed products along with an agreement on third-country export cooperation. They are currently discussing applying Hunid's MANET solution to the modernization project of the defense information and communication network of the Cameroon Ministry of Defense.

A Hunid official said, "Through this module development, we can expand the scope of K-defense exports to include tactical communication systems."
