North Korea is believed to have a fleet of military drones. And now, South Korean researchers are testing unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, to take on that threat.
The South Korea unmanned craft is no ordinary drone. It is designed to detect and attack an enemy UAV in mid-air.
Shim Hyun-chul, head of the unmanned systems research group at the science and technology graduate school KAIST, and his team of students recently tested the new technology. He said drones can be made by anyone these days.
“The fear is that the drones are very easy to build… They can do a lot of things. It appears as a very new threat,” said Shim.
And in South Korea, that threat comes from the North.
