The air forces of Korea and the United States will sign a letter of intent (LOI) on autonomous combat platform cooperation Thursday to bolster collaboration in the manned-unmanned combat systems, the Korean Air Force said.<\/p>\n

The LOI will be signed during a meeting between the chiefs of staff of the two countries’ air forces \u2014 Gen. Son Sug-rag and U.S. Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach, the South’s armed force said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The autonomous collaborative platform (ACP) refers to an autonomous system designed to collaborate with manned aircraft and other unmanned assets to execute air missions.<\/p>\n

Such manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) is regarded as a cornerstone of next-generation air operations, reducing risks to pilots and significantly boosting the operational range and survival chances for airmen.<\/p>\n

The collaboration comes as the U.S. Air Force is pushing for the development and operational integration of the unmanned combat aircraft systems.<\/p>\n

Korea’s Air Force is also working to lay the groundwork to secure operational capabilities for the MUM-T systems.<\/p>\n

Building on the collaboration, the two air forces plan to bolster cooperation to advance operational concepts and interoperability for future MUM-T combat systems, the Air Force said.<\/p>\n
