NovaKos Unveils AMIGS at KADEX 2024: An AI-Fused Advanced Surveillance System for South Korea's Military Needs.

NovaKos, a company specializing in AI-integrated surveillance systems, is participating in KADEX 2024, South Korea's largest land defense exhibition. Held from October 2 to 6 at Gyeryongdae, the headquarters of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the event aims to showcase South Korea's defense capabilities on the global stage. During this exhibition, NovaKos presents several innovative products, including its "AI Mobile Integrated Guard System" (AMIGS).

AMIGS is designed to provide advanced surveillance in various military environments and is distinguished by its integration of multiple detection technologies. In addition to AMIGS, NovaKos is also showcasing a "Radar and AI-Based Surveillance System" for fixed installations, as well as radars used in remote-controlled weapon systems (RCWS), demonstrating its broad range of security solutions.

AMIGS delivers real-time information on targets detected and tracked by both radar and surveillance cameras. These data, enhanced by AI analysis, are displayed on a geographic information system (GIS) screen and two dedicated video monitors. The surveillance vehicles equipped with AMIGS can be controlled simultaneously from command vehicles or control rooms, offering maximum operational flexibility.

These vehicles can also be remotely controlled if necessary, enhancing the efficiency of surveillance operations. Unlike fixed systems, AMIGS, as a mobile surveillance system, can be rapidly and flexibly deployed in both wartime and peacetime, integrating with mobile combat units to carry out field missions.

The system features a dual-band AESA radar (X and S bands), capable of detecting and tracking over 500 targets simultaneously within a 20 km radius and a 180-degree frontal field of view. AMIGS overcomes the limitations of traditional camera-only systems by using three types of surveillance cameras: electro-optical (EO), mid-wave infrared (MWIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR). The system remains fully operational even in adverse weather conditions, such as rain or fog, due to this combination of technologies. Additionally, AMIGS integrates a drone system for reconnaissance in areas not covered by ground sensors, making it a comprehensive mobile surveillance solution.

In parallel, NovaKos is also presenting its Radar and AI-Based Surveillance System, a fixed system already deployed in some coastal areas and guard posts (GOP) of the South Korean military. This system is also being adopted to protect strategic infrastructure, combining radars and cameras to ensure continuous surveillance. It uses an AI edge computing controller and an integrated platform to monitor and manage operations. If necessary, this system can incorporate existing surveillance equipment, ensuring maximum flexibility and adaptability.

NovaKos CEO Jo Sung-yun emphasized the importance of these technological advances, stating, "We strive to integrate various surveillance equipment into an AI-based platform to improve operational efficiency while significantly reducing operator fatigue. This also reduces the personnel required, making it an ideal system for armed forces facing recruitment challenges due to declining birth rates."

This innovative approach by NovaKos, along with the growing impact of small and medium-sized enterprises specializing in specific technological areas, contributes to the continuous growth of South Korea's defense sector (K-Defense). Through bold innovations, South Korea is strengthening its position as a leader in the global defense market, adapting to an increasingly complex and demanding strategic environment.
