LG CNS, a South Korean IT company, has secured two contracts from Seoul’s Defense Information Agency to modernize the country’s military networks and digital infrastructure.
The first project will integrate the communication networks of the Korean Army, Navy, Air Force, and Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The second project will overhaul the agency’s system for managing military facilities, standardizing data, improving efficiency, and coordinating every stage of facility operations.
Network Integration
The first project, named the “Network Integration Project for Parallel Communications Networks,” will standardize network environments to improve data flow across all military branches.
Previously, each branch operated its own system, which limited the speed and effectiveness of information sharing.
The project will leverage software-defined networking to enable centralized control of routers nationwide, adding advanced protections such as firewalls to block unauthorized access and intrusion detection and prevention systems to detect and stop attacks.
It will also include defenses against large-scale traffic floods, which could disrupt or slow network operations.
Additionally, an AI-based system will monitor network activity in real-time, automatically analyzing threats in seconds instead of minutes, speeding up responses and allowing personnel to focus on advanced security tasks.
Defense Facility Management
For the second initiative, named the “Next-Generation Defense Facility Integrated Information System Construction Project,” LG CNS will revamp the Defense Information Agency’s system for managing military facilities.
As part of the new integrated system, the company will link 12 internal government business systems and eight external platforms.
It will combine administrative, financial, and operational data with information and geospatial data, including topography and land parcel maps.
This integrated approach will allow planners and managers to monitor and control all aspects of defense facility operations, including planning, budgeting, and construction.
It will also cover maintenance and national property management, all accessible through a single interface.
