Database use and resale prohibited]<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p> Defense Minister Ahn Gyu\u2011baek visited the coastal surveillance mobile battalion of the Army\u2019s 35th Division on April 24 to inspect a pilot program for an AI-based coastal surveillance operations system. The Ministry of National Defense said Ahn received a briefing from the battalion commander on current surveillance operations and personally observed a system that uses artificial intelligence to analyze live video from multiple sensors and radar signal data in real time. Ahn said building an advanced, technology-driven surveillance network to match the changing security environment is not optional but essential. He called the AI-based coastal surveillance system a pivotal step in transforming the armed forces into a smart, elite force grounded in cutting\u2011edge science and technology. Addressing the troops, he emphasized that coastal surveillance is not a military-only mission and requires integrated efforts with the Coast Guard, local governments and other relevant agencies. He urged that peacetime communication and cooperation be strengthened so forces can respond immediately to any contingency. #AI #AhnGyuBaek #DefenseMinister #MinistryOfNationalDefense #35thDivision #CoastalSurveillanceMobileBattalion Yonhap News TV \u2014 story tips and inquiries: KakaoTalk\/Line jebo23.
