MOTIE Selects EagleEye™ for Offset Trade

EagleEye™ in Operation

EagleEye™, FUNZIN's AI synthetic data generation platform, has been officially selected by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) as a Recommended Product for Offset Trade.

Offset Trade requires foreign defense suppliers to provide technology transfer, local investment, or industrial cooperation. Its scope has recently expanded beyond defense to include advanced civilian industries. This selection highlights EagleEye™’s strong competitiveness and scalability in the global defense and AI data markets.

EagleEye™ is a proprietary synthetic data generation platform developed by FUNZIN. It is a core technology that dramatically improves the efficiency and accuracy of AI training, accelerating the development of next-generation defense AI models and innovation in dual-use industries. With this designation, EagleEye™ will receive institutional support for expanding global partnerships and developing export channels, which will be a critical launchpad for FUNZIN's global market strategy.

Significance of the Selection:

National Recognition of Technology: Selected from over 2,700 specialized companies in Korea, securing technological credibility.
Preferential Export Opportunities: Expanded opportunities for collaboration with global corporations and participation in overseas projects.
Growth Leverage: Strengthening our leading position in the dual-use (defense and commercial) synthetic data market.

Centering on EagleEye™, FUNZIN plans to build an unparalleled competitive edge in the global AI data infrastructure market.

EagleEye™ Earns Grade 1 GS Certification

EagleEye™ earned Grade 1 GS Certification.

FUNZIN’s synthetic data generation platform, EagleEye™, has passed the quality test conducted by the Software Testing & Certification Laboratory of the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA), earning Grade 1 GS Certification—the first ever in the field of AI image generation.

This milestone follows EagleEye’s previous achievements as an AI infrastructure certified by the Republic of Korea Army Artificial Intelligence Center, where it was the first platform officially deployed and approved for military use.

With this certification, EagleEye™ is now officially recognized as a universal AI synthetic data generation platform applicable across industries such as surveillance, security, manufacturing, and smart cities, where object recognition and data training are critical.

What Is GS Certification?

The GS (Good Software) Certification evaluates software based on functionality, performance, usability, reliability, and security, in accordance with international standard ISO/IEC 25023.
Grade 1 represents the highest level of software quality.

EagleEye™ automatically generates and manages high-quality synthetic data through text prompts, image-to-image transformation, and inpainting.
It enables large-scale AI training data generation even in environments where data is scarce or impossible to collect, significantly improving object recognition accuracy and reliability.

FUNZIN and KNPA Sign MOU for AI-Driven Public Safety Innovation

On September 24, FUNZIN, a defense vertical AI company, signed an MOU with the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) to advance AI- and technology-driven innovation in public safety.

Under this agreement, the two organizations will collaborate on policy consulting, AI and science technology seminars, and joint promotional initiatives, building a cooperative research framework for advanced scientific policing technologies.

The KNPA has shown particular interest in FUNZIN’s KWM-Ocelot, a wireless signal detection technology, and its seamless communication terminal solution, both of which are expected to enable faster and more accurate responses in disaster and crime situations.

FUNZIN’s core AI technology, KWM (Kill-Web Matching), serves as an “AI-Based Command Decision Support System” that assists commanders in making rapid, informed decisions. It is also regarded as a potential key system for police command centers.

FUNZIN will showcase KWM and other AI-based public safety technologies at the upcoming Police Day celebration in October and the 2025 International Security Industry Exhibition.

The expansion of AI technologies proven in defense into the public safety domain is becoming increasingly tangible.

FUNZIN Wins KARI Award at AI FESTA

FUNZIN Honored with the Director’s Award at the 9th Korea Digital Future Innovation Awards

From September 30 to October 2, FUNZIN, a defense vertical AI company, participated in AI FESTA 2025, highlighting the potential for defense AI technologies to expand into the civilian sector.

Defense AI Expands into Everyday Life

FUNZIN introduced its key technologies, including the KWM-Ocelot, an AI-based electromagnetic spectrum analysis system, and EagleEye™, a synthetic data generation platform that recently earned Grade 1 GS Certification.

The company also unveiled its vision for the next-generation large-scale KWM architecture, which can be applied to various battlefield domains such as firepower, electromagnetic, frequency, and CBR environments.
FUNZIN emphasized that this technology has the potential to evolve into a societal safety network, supporting policing, public safety, urban protection, and network security.

During the exhibition, FUNZIN received the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) Director’s Award at the 9th Korea Digital Future Innovation Awards for its KWM technology, marking an official recognition of defense AI’s civilian applicability.

Presentation and Exhibition at the Defense Intelligence Information Conference
