Shift Dynamics Unveils AI Weapons Systems Integration Solution ‘SAGE AI’
Shift Dynamics, a specialist in military drones and unmanned defense systems, has introduced a new concept AI integration solution for weapons systems.
Shift Dynamics revealed its advanced technology-integrated weapons system AI solution, 'SAGE AI,' on the 2nd. 'SAGE AI' aims to minimize human intervention on the battlefield, maximize combat efficiency, and reduce casualties.
The development of the newly introduced 'SAGE AI' incorporates technological capabilities and know-how that have been commercialized through autonomous flight implementations of drones and future air mobility (AAM). The solution utilized AI technologies such as computer vision and machine learning, applied to real-time location identification and mapping technologies using cameras and LiDAR, position detection technologies in situations where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reception is impossible, object recognition and tracking technologies, and massive data analysis for object identification.
Shift Dynamics anticipates that the 'SAGE AI'-based solutions will be actively utilized in two major areas. First, granting full autonomy to current weapon systems to realize automation or unmanned operations of traditional weapon systems such as combat vehicles, armored vehicles, combat ships, and aircraft. Additionally, it is expected to enhance usability by building capabilities for deep data-based strategic analysis on the battlefield.
Shift Dynamics was established in January last year as a defense subsidiary of the AAM company This Is Engineering (TIE). Preparing for entry into the defense sector with unmanned aerial systems (UAS), counter-unmanned aerial systems (CUAS), and AI solutions, based on unmanned autonomous flight, control systems, and comprehensive system technologies that TIE possesses, including mass-produced drones and the high-speed AAM 'Shift Compson,' the first of its kind developed with purely civilian company technology in Korea. TIE plans to unveil a diverse lineup of defense drones soon, including multi-purpose electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), long-range multi-purpose autonomous hybrid eVTOL, and ultra-compact surveillance drones, with a phased launch planned from the second half of the year.
Jae-ki Hong, CEO of Shift Dynamics, stated, "TIE has accumulated AI capabilities and know-how that we will apply across various defense sectors to supply truly innovative weapons systems that customers desire," and added, "We will contribute to strengthening Korea's defense capabilities and enhancing national competitiveness through exports."
