Aircraft program
Low Observable Wingman UAV System (LOWUS) UAS with manned-unmanned teaming capability (primarily designed for use with KF-21) for reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and attack missions, co-developed by Korean Air and Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) (through the Future Challenge Defense Technology Project). In development.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
