In a move to elevate South Korea’s guided weapon systems, LIG Nex1 has launched two advanced modular missiles that fuse artificial intelligence, precision targeting, and scalable payload options into a new generation of adaptable strike systems.
The first variant, a 113-kilogram (250-pound) missile, is configured for multi-role combat scenarios. Depending on the payload, it can serve as a precision strike weapon, surveillance platform, or an electronic warfare asset, allowing for seamless operational shift without requiring entirely new systems.
The second missile, at 454 kilograms (1,000 pounds), is purpose-built for long-range assaults against both naval and terrestrial threats. Equipped with AI-guided navigation and designed to fly at low altitudes, the missile minimizes detectability and maximizes effectiveness in contested environments.
These developments reflect South Korea’s growing emphasis on modular, intelligent munitions capable of handling rapidly changing combat requirements while remaining cost-efficient and easily upgradable.
