Suwon to Build Integrated Civil-Government-Military-Police Defense System with Drones

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Suwon City will hold a drone demonstration event for building an integrated civil-government-military-police defense system with the 51st Infantry Division at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 11th at 2 p.m.

The demonstration will be attended by Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young, government officials, military representatives, local government officials from southwestern Gyeonggi Province, researchers from the Agency for Defense Development and other research organizations, members of Suwon City's Integrated Defense Council, and civil defense members.

The demonstration will review the progress of drone deployment and simulate scenarios including enemy infiltration, terrorism, and disasters.

After the demonstration, participants will discuss 'drone operational methods for future integrated defense operations' and 'national security guarantee methods through regulatory sandboxes'.

Suwon City has been working with the 51st Infantry Division to operate drones for protecting citizen safety and lives in emergency situations including missing persons, terrorism, and disasters.

Suwon was the first local government to introduce drones for land surveys in 2017, and is currently preparing to establish a 'CCTV monitoring service model using drones' this year. The city plans to continue collaborating with the Army to commercialize drones as a tool for protecting citizen safety.
