Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, guided on September 18 the performance test of the unmanned weapons and equipment being developed and produced by an institute and enterprises under the Unmanned Aeronautical Technology Complex.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by Ri Pyong Chol, general advisor for the munitions policy of the WPK Central Committee, other senior officials of the WPK Central Committee and officials in the defence science research field.

He learnt in detail about the performance and combat application of various types of unmanned weapons and equipment including strategic and tactical unmanned surveillance vehicles and multipurpose drones being developed and produced by the institute and enterprises under the UATC.

The day’s test clearly proved the military strategic value and innovative performance of the strategic unmanned surveillance vehicle and the excellent combat effectiveness of Kumsong-series tactical attack drones.

Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction over the result of the test.

He said that as he had already stressed, the reality, in which the utilization range of unmanned equipment is being further expanded in modern warfare and the equipment emerges as a major military activity asset, raises it as a top-priority and important task in modernizing the armed forces of the DPRK to put on a highly-developed basis the core technology of this field and the artificial intelligence and operational ability of the unmanned weapon and equipment systems.

He clarified the steps to be taken in directing primary efforts to rapidly developing the newly-introduced artificial intelligence technology and expanding and strengthening the capacity of serial production of drones.

That day he approved and ratified a document related to an important plan reflecting an organizational and structural measure for further expanding and strengthening the technological potentialities of the UATC.
