SKT Unveils Defense AX Technologies Including AI Staff and Low Earth Orbit Satellites at Ground Forces Festival

Published2026.10.06 09:20

Exhibition and Demonstration of Defense Technology Based on AI and Communications under 'T Military' Brand

SK Telecom (SKT) participated as the sole private company in the military cultural festival hosted by the Army Headquarters, unveiling defense AX (AI Transformation) related technologies including an AI operational support system and low earth orbit satellite communications. The company directly demonstrated to military officials and general visitors its technological capabilities to process large volumes of data generated from future battlefield assets such as drones, robots, and sensors in real-time, and to establish secure communication networks without ground infrastructure.

SKT announced on the 6th that it participated in the "2026 Ground Forces Festival" held from the 1st to the 5th at the Gyeryongdae runway in Gyeryongsi, South Chungcheong Province at the policy promotion pavilion.

At this event, SKT exhibited and demonstrated △AI Staff (AI operational support system) △low earth orbit satellite-based communication system △quantum cryptography and stealth Wi-Fi and other security technologies under the defense AX brand "T Military".

The core of this exhibition is the "AI Staff".

It is a system that supports commanders' situational awareness and tactical decision-making by combining a data platform that integrates and connects military-held data, ontology that structures the meaning and relationships between data, and digital twin that virtually reproduces actual battlefield environments.

SKT explained that the exhibition was structured to allow visitors to directly experience the process from data collection and analysis through digital twin-based battlefield implementation to decision-making support.

SKT also presented a communications and security system that combines low earth orbit satellite communications, quantum cryptography, and stealth Wi-Fi, which can secure connectivity even in environments where it is difficult to establish ground communication infrastructure.

This decision reflects the understanding that seamless networks and high security levels are necessary in future combat environments where diverse military assets such as AI, drones, and robots exchange data in real-time.

Through this, SKT demonstrated communication capabilities that support the Army's future combat system "Army TIGER+".

Army TIGER+ is the Army's future combat system that integrates advanced technologies such as AI and data, drones and counter-drones, robots, and cyber and electromagnetic capabilities into core combat power.

Partner companies from the AI, satellite, network, and security sectors including SK Telelink, TechTree Innovation, Enhance, Mercury, KCS, and Pablo Aviation participated in this exhibition.

Kim Gu-young, head of SKT's Enterprise Division, said, "In future battlefields, AI that rapidly analyzes vast information to support decision-making and stable and secure communication infrastructure to back it up will become increasingly important. We will optimize the AI and communications technologies we possess into solutions tailored to the defense field and actively expand the defense AX business."
