Altair Inks MoU with Korea Military Academy

Altair has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Korea Military Academy (KMA) to foster the next generation of defense artificial intelligence (AI) experts in South Korea. Under the agreement, Altair will provide the KMA with free access to its AI and simulation software within the Altair HyperWorks and Altair RapidMiner platforms for the next 3 years.

“We are proud to partner with the KMA to empower the next wave of innovation in defense through AI and simulation,” says Songsoo Moon, senior vice president, APAC, Altair. “This MoU marks the beginning of a broader academic-industry collaboration model that will foster technological advancements throughout the defense sector.”

“We expect this collaboration to energize defense research and education through the use of AI and simulation technologies,” says Major General Hyeonggi So, superintendent, KMA. “With Altair’s support, we will continue to drive the development of next-generation military technologies and cultivate future defense leaders.”

Altair’s AI-powered simulation technology enables modeling of military scenarios that are often difficult or dangerous to replicate in real life, according to Altair. By virtually analyzing various scenarios quickly and accurately, this approach minimizes risk while improving decision-making and equipment development, Altair explains.
