This year's trend in Asia's largest drone exhibition was an attack drone that can be used for defense purposes and a safety control system linking artificial intelligence (AI) and drones.
At the DSK 2025 (formerly Drone Show Korea), which opened on the 26th, Korea's leading drone companies such as Paplo Airlines, Niers Lab, and Wiplo introduced military drones and AI systems.
Drones and AI are already considered the core of the future battlefield overseas. CEO Elon Musk and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt are also emphasizing this point, and U.S. defense drone companies such as Anduril are on a huge rise.
Korean drone leaders also reflected this trend.
WEFLO, which specializes in drone safety inspection, jointly operated a "K-drone delivery center" with the Korea Institute of Aviation Safety and Technology (KIAST) and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority (TS), and exhibited a contactless drone airframe inspection platform using sound and vibration sensors.
Smart A sensor attached to the landing pad completes the drone's safety inspection within seconds. Data on this safety inspection can be integrated and managed on a separate platform.
In addition, drone manufacturers introduced "verti-Pit QC," which can diagnose the quality of quickly manufactured drones and improve their yield. An official from WEFLO said, "We expect that domestic and foreign drone manufacturers will be able to quickly automate quality control."
