LIG Defense & Aerospace (D&A) is collaborating with Korea Aerospace University on defense technology.
 
LIG D&A announced on August 26 that it signed an agreement to establish a cooperative framework with Korea Aerospace University the previous day at the Second Pangyo House in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.
 
Under this agreement, both parties will identify and review programs for training specialized personnel in the aerospace and defense industries.
 
They will also pursue various collaborations, including joint research in areas such as vertical takeoff and landing drones, as well as satellites and ground systems, along with industry-academia cooperation and exchanges of personnel and resources between faculty and researchers.
 
Additionally, they will mutually contribute to revitalization projects in the northern Gyeonggi region, including the establishment of a defense cluster and specialized projects for aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) in which Korea Aerospace University is involved.
 
Meanwhile, LIG D&A is gradually expanding its business capabilities in the aerospace and unmanned systems sectors. Last month, it also signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus Helicopters to develop next-generation unmanned aerial system (UAS) technology.
