An ambitious plan by the South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) and Agency for Defense Development (ADD) to develop unmanned and autonomous land reconnaissance and combat vehicles for the Republic of Korea Army (RoKA) is well under way with advanced prototypes from Hanwha Techwin and Hyundai Rotem being trialled until the end of October 2016. Scale models of designs from both companies were showcased in September at DX Korea 2016. A spokesperson from the Ministry of National Defense (MND) told IHS Jane's that a decision will be made by 2017 to proceed with a platform design from either one of the contractors for further development, with the aim of fielding a system for the army by 2030.
