The South Korean Defense Ministry said on the 5th that the Army Aviation Operations Command will take the lead in promoting the establishment of a joint UAV command. According to Yonhap News Agency on January 5, Quan Hekui, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, said at a press conference that the Ministry of National Defense had assigned the Army Aviation Command the task of creating a joint UAV command. The Army Aviation Command is equipped with attack and reconnaissance helicopters. Since the command will be responsible for creating a UAV command, UAV combat power may be formed based on the Army's air combat system. Quan He Kui said that although the Army currently has a UAV force, the Korean Army needs an organization that can perform multi arms cooperation tasks, so it is necessary to create a UAV headquarters. According to the report, South Korean President Yin Xiyue once instructed to create a UAV force. The Ministry of Defense proposed to set up a joint UAV headquarters capable of carrying out surveillance, reconnaissance, electronic warfare and other tasks as soon as possible when reporting to Yin Xiyue the countermeasures against UAV intrusion.
