South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), has officially launched the development of a new ‘Counter Ballistic Missile Operation Simulation Model’ to strengthen South Korea’s ability to respond to growing ballistic missile threats.

On Monday, the DAPA announced that the kickoff meeting was held on Tuesday, June 17, at LIG Nex1, the lead research and development organization.

The project, backed by a budget of 33.4 billion won, is scheduled to run through 2028. It is designed to build a simulation model that mirrors complex, real-world ballistic missile scenarios. Unlike conventional training that focuses on isolated weapon systems and procedural drills, this new system will provide integrated operational exercises within a fully simulated battlefield environment.
