South Korean defense firm LIG Nex1 has introduced two new modular missile systems engineered to enhance operational flexibility and combat effectiveness across a range of mission profiles. The advanced designs combine autonomous capabilities, adaptable payloads, and multi-domain versatility, reflecting the growing demand for smart munitions in modern warfare.
The first missile, weighing 250 pounds (113 kilograms), is tailored for tactical missions and can be outfitted for strike operations, intelligence surveillance, or electronic warfare (EW) depending on the mission requirement. Its lightweight design allows for rapid deployment and flexible integration with various platforms.
The second missile in the series, weighing 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms), is developed for long-range offensive missions. It leverages artificial intelligence-driven guidance and low-altitude flight paths to evade radar detection, making it effective against both land-based and maritime targets. Together, these systems underscore South Korea’s push toward modular and AI-enabled weaponry that meets the evolving needs of future battlefields.
