The Defense Ministry announced Wednesday that it plans to utilize cutting-edge technologies such as the brain-machine interface (BMI), which directly links the human brain and machines, in its first guidelines outlining the technological areas that must be enhanced to strengthen defense capabilities.
The guidelines list 12 key technological fields, such as unmanned systems and cyber defense, and emphasize the need to work on "ensuring technological superiority in the future," looking more than 10 years ahead.
The ministry aims to utilize the research and development being conducted by other ministries in a comprehensive manner for the nation's security policy.
