KWM WORLD: The Full-Scale Architecture of KWM, Realized Through Physical AI

KWM World: Integrated Architecture for the Army, Navy, and Air Force

Bringing KWM to Life Through Physical AI

FUNZIN is translating KWM (Kill-Web Matching) into reality through Physical AI.
The newly unveiled KWM World presents an integrated vision that spans from theater-level command decision support to MUM-T (Manned–Unmanned Teaming) operations.

🔹 KWM-KCCS — Cloud-Based Theater Command Decision Support System

🔹 KWM-onP / KWM-stA — On-Premise and Edge-Cloud Adaptive Command Decision Systems

🔹 AISS / AISen — Small Edge Cloud and On-Device AI for MUM-T Operations

Key Components

KWM_stA: MUM-T C2 MOSA (Software)

MCTS: Multi-Connection Telecommunication System

AISS (AI Sensor to Shooter): C2 for Unmanned Platforms

AISen (AI Sensor): On-Device AI for Mission Equipment

FUNZIN is accelerating the Physical AI era, where AI systems become fully deployable in real operational environments through KWM World.

KWM Sets a New Milestone in Defense AI as the First AI Command Decision Support System to Participate in KCTC Combat Experimentation

FUNZIN’s KWM (Kill-Web Matching) has become the first AI command decision support system to take part in combat experimentation at the KCTC (Korea Combat Training Center)—a landmark achievement in the advancement of defense AI.

📅 Operation Period and Location

The experiment was conducted over 19 days, from October 13 to November 6, at the Army Korea Combat Training Center in Inje.

👥 Personnel Involved

A team of 11 FUNZINEERS was deployed to operate the full experiment.

🎯 전투실험 수행 현황

A total of 16 combat experiment sessions were executed:

🔹 8 sessions conducted independently by FUNZIN

🔹 4 integrated sessions with an infantry battalion

🔹 4 integrated sessions with an armored battalion

This was not a simple technology demonstration—it marked the first formal validation of an AI staff assistant in a full-scale, real-force KCTC operational environment.

🚀 From Concept to Field-Verified AI

Following the successful demonstration in last year’s Army Tiger Boost Project, this marks the first official transition of KWM from a conceptual framework into a field-validated system.

KWM is now the first AI command decision support system in Korea to be validated in real operational conditions, evolving into a combat-ready AI staff assistant that supports commanders with rapid and precise decision-making.

FUNZIN Participates in ADEX, Asia Largest Defense Exhibition

FUNZIN Unveils Next-Generation AI Staff Assistant Systems — Including the Large-Scale KWM and KWM WORLD — at ADEX 2025

FUNZIN successfully concluded its participation at ADEX 2025, held from October 20–25 at KINTEX in Ilsan. Under the theme “The Heart of the Future Battlefield: Large-Scale KWM,” FUNZIN introduced the latest evolution of its AI staff assistant ecosystem: KWM WORLD.

Key showcased systems included:

KWM — AI Command Decision Support System
KWM-Ocelot — AI Electromagnetic Spectrum Reconnaissance System
KWM-stA — MUM-T C2 MOSA (Software)
KWM-RANZA — AI-Based Military Logistics Automation System

By integrating KWM-Ocelot’s RF detection and intelligence fusion capabilities into KWM, FUNZIN demonstrated a breakthrough that overcomes the inherent limitations of EO/IR sensors—significantly advancing the level of battlefield automation.

What is KWM-stA (Standalone AI)?

KWM-stA is a tactical vehicle–mounted MUM-T C2 system that provides a standalone battle management capability for manned–unmanned teaming.
Operators can control UAVs and UGVs in real time from a command-and-control vehicle, while the system autonomously performs reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition through AI-driven target analysis and mission generation.

Its intuitive user interface enables operation without specialized training, and it is designed for future integration with broader tactical networks.

Senior defense leaders—including the Vice Minister of National Defense, the Commander of Army Logistics Command, the Commander of the 1st Logistics Support Brigade, the Commander of the Ground Intelligence Brigade, as well as representatives from the ROK Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Headquarters, and the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA)—visited FUNZIN’s booth.

Delegations from nine defense companies across eight countries, including the United States, Germany, and France, also engaged in discussions on the future of defense AI.

The large-scale KWM marks the beginning of a new era—one where commanders make decisions with AI, not after it.
FUNZIN will continue driving innovation in defense AI with technologies designed for real operational impact.

FUNZIN Presents on “Applying Defense AI to Public Safety” at the KNPA–KAIST Joint Conference

FUNZIN, a leading defense vertical AI company, was invited to speak at the KNPA–KAIST Joint Conference, held during the Korea Police World Expo.
Now in its seventh year, the expo embraced the theme AI Policing for All.
Shirly delivered a keynote presentation on the future application of defense vertical AI in public safety.

More than 100 participants—including officials from the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) and KAIST, AI companies such as FUNZIN, S2W, and Nearthlab, and frontline police officers—gathered to discuss pathways for deploying AI technologies in policing.

FUNZIN will continue advancing AI innovation not only in national defense but also in building a safer society through next-generation public safety AI.

FUNZIN Invited to the 80th Police Day Commemoration Ceremony

FUNZIN was officially invited to attend the 80th Police Day Commemoration Ceremony.
The event brought together more than 500 participants, including President Lee Jae-myung, members of the National Assembly, ministers and vice ministers, the Chair and Standing Commissioners of the National Police Commission, senior police leadership, families of fallen officers, international police chiefs, diplomatic representatives, partner organizations, and frontline police officers.

Shirly and Kim Jeong-hoon, President of FUNZIN, attended the ceremony at the formal invitation of the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA).
Alongside the event, FUNZIN showcased its AI Decision Support System in the AI for Scientific Policing Exhibition Hall.
This system provides commanders with optimal response options across various emergency scenarios, attracting significant attention from attendees.

A highlight of the exhibition was KWM-Police, presented through AI-generated visual simulations, offering a glimpse into the future of AI-driven policing and drawing strong interest from visitors.

This exhibition underscored the expanding potential of FUNZIN’s KWM ecosystem and core technologies, demonstrating their applicability beyond defense and into the broader domain of public safety.
