Zitat:South Korea To Develop Naval VTOL UAV For KDX-II Destroyershttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...estroyers/
South Korea’s DAPA (Defense Acquisition Program Administration) will soon begin preliminary research works for naval UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to be deployed aboard KDX Batch II (Yi Sun-Sin Class) destroyers. [...] The new UAV will be equipped with a advanced aerial reconnaissance capabilities as well as EO/IR (Electro-Optical/Infrared) sensors to allow for better operational flexibility during the day, at night and in low-light or low-visibility conditions.
These capabilities are especially important since most of its operation will be carried in harsh maritime conditions onboard Yi Sun-Sin-class destroyers, as well as highly contested islands near the NLL (Northern Limit Line) that are under the jurisdiction of NIDC (Northwest Islands Defense Command). Notably Yeonpyeong and Baekryeong, with the former having been heavily bombarded by North Korea’s heavy artilleries attack back in November 2010.
