[KADEX On-site] Hunid Presents 'Next-Generation Electronic Control Network Solution'

First Unveiling of Export-Oriented Next-Generation High-Speed Wireless Transmission Equipment

Hunid Technologies, a domestic defense company, is unveiling a next-generation battlefield network solution that can maximize the efficiency of military operations.

On the 2nd, Hunid announced that it will participate in 'KADEX 2024,' held from the 2nd to the 6th in Gyeryong-si, Chungnam, showcasing equipment that can share real-time information of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and combatants, and enable battlefield situational awareness through long-distance high-speed data transmission.

The UAV datalink total solution delivers high-resolution video and data collected by UAVs during operations to the command post in real time. This means rapid response and operational planning are possible. The solution features a hand-launched small UAV, a high-gain antenna, a FANET (Flying Ad-hoc Network)-based datalink module, and integrated FC (Flight Controller) functionality.

The tracking antenna system automatically tracks the UAV’s location and movement path within a radius of up to 200 km, maintaining a stable communication network between the UAV and the command post. This communication network is designed to receive high-resolution video in real time.

The combatant video transmission system ensures the survivability of combatants deployed in the field and enhances operational capabilities. It supports intuitive battlefield situational awareness by sending operational videos filmed by combatants to the command post in real time via a MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network) datalink.

The MANET-based terminal for combatants offers a LOS (Line Of Sight) communication range of 4 km, automatic relay functionality of more than 6 hops, and applies a Korean encryption algorithm, providing optimized performance for special mission operations such as counterterrorism, surveillance, maritime, and underground joint operations.

Additionally, through a smartphone-style tactical terminal, real-time video and location information collected from unmanned combat systems such as combatants, UAVs, and multi-legged robots are shared, supporting chat and message transmission and reception, as well as mission planning sharing functions, facilitating rapid and accurate decision-making during operations.

Hunid is currently powering up large-capacity wireless transmission equipment that serves as the backbone network, the core of next-generation tactical information communication systems. At this exhibition, it will unveil for the first time the export-type next-generation high-speed wireless transmission equipment under development.

This equipment can operate as a MANET channel or a backbone channel for large-capacity wireless transmission according to user operational requirements through dual tactical SDR (Software Defined Radio) channels. When used as a backbone channel, it provides a maximum communication range of 100 km and a large-capacity transmission bandwidth of 400 Mbps. Utilizing this, it is possible to configure military-exclusive wireless backbone communication networks or disaster communication networks, meeting the demands of countries and institutions where wired communication networks cannot be established due to insufficient infrastructure.

A Hunid official stated, “Hunid will provide core solutions so that our military can possess more advanced operational capabilities through various next-generation battlefield network solutions.”
