Evolution of the US-South Korea “science and technology alliance”… creating a “second FA-50 aircraft”

The United States has decided to share early warning satellite information with the South Korean military in real time to improve its ability to respond to North Korean missile threats. The United States and South Korea jointly develop defense science and technology and jointly develop weapons systems.
Promote production and export. Many examples have been created, such as the T-50 (FA-50) supersonic aircraft developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) based on technology from Lockheed Martin of the United States.
The idea is to do so. On the 13th, South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-sik and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin held the 55th U.S.-Korea Security Consultative Conference (SCM) at the Seoul National Defense Building.
A joint statement was adopted that included the following. According to a joint statement, the secretaries of both countries agreed to establish an early warning satellite information sharing system (SEWS). What is the early warning satellite information sharing system?
, through more than 10 early warning satellites operated by the United States, including geostationary orbit satellites (DSP) and space-based infrared satellites (SBIRS), to detect enemy missile launches at an early stage and provide information on allied and friendly countries.
This is a system for sharing continuous detection information. If this system is established, the South Korean military will be able to share in real time the U.S. early warning satellite information that it has traditionally received after the fact. North
It is expected to be able to immediately detect and respond to a variety of missiles, including the irregular pull-up mobile missile recently developed by North Korea.
At the same time, the two ministers agreed to support the restructuring of global supply chains and the development of international technology.
In response to intensifying technological competition, the two countries decided to expand cooperation in the defense industry and science and technology fields. Specifically, the plan is to first establish a high-level defense science and technology council between the U.S. and South Korean defense ministries to promote joint research and development.
It's a painting. They also decided to cooperate from the planning stage of the weapon system. Through this, it will develop technologies and weapon systems suitable for the battlefield situation on the Korean Peninsula and the combined forces.
A Ministry of National Defense official said, ``Organic information exchange between the two countries' weapons systems enhances the alliance's combined operational capabilities by enabling timely responses to threats and efficient operations.''
It will increase."
