KAI awarded a contract to deliver four Baekdu-II ISR aircraft systems to the RoKAF

 

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has been awarded a KRW 800 billion (USD675 million) contract to develop and manufacture four intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft systems for the Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF).

An unnamed KAI official said that the “performance improvement project of the Baekdu system is a core project for the development of the domestic aerospace industry, such as strengthening the military’s power as well as accumulating technology and creating jobs.”

The East Asian country currently relies on US-made E-737 airborne early warning and control aircraft, RQ-4 Global Hawks, and six indigenous Baekdu planes, inducted in the 90s for reconnaissance. According to Aju Business Daily, South Korea’s decision to develop a fleet of upgraded homegrown Baekdu planes is an attempt to reduce the US dependence on its reconnaissance requirements. 

Compared to Global Hawk, a U.S. developed high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle, Baekdu has advanced signal-collecting capabilities, and it can detect both electronic intelligence (ELINT) and communications intelligence (COMINT). After the older Baekdu units are replaced with the four newly configured Baekdu aircraft produced through the second project, all Baekdu aircraft will be equipped with the technology to capture foreign instrumentation signature intelligence (FISINT) and detect flames when missiles are launched.
