by Jon Grevatt

South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) has disclosed details about its plan to develop a local defence-related space capability. The plan is linked to a new drive to generate nearly 9,000 defence-industry jobs over the coming decade.

DAPA said on 8 September that the space defence plan includes strategies aimed at boosting technologies, skills, and manufacturing capabilities. The effort is geared towards achieving self-reliance in the space-defence sector over the coming 10 years and is supported by pledged funding of KRW16 trillion (USD13.6 billion).
