South Korea plans to procure approximately 11,000 commercial drones for military training as part of its “500,000 drone warrior” initiative. The program aims to equip all conscripts with drone operation skills while promoting domestic manufacturing. Alongside procurement, the country is investing in advanced drone technologies, including wireless-powered UAVs and modular systems. Collaborative projects with local and international firms are focused on improving endurance and adaptability, aligning with broader defense modernization goals.
