[Recommendation for July] FUNZIN’s “KWM”
FUNZIN Introduces ‘Kill-Web Matching (KWM)’ — An AI Command Decision Support System
FUNZIN, a defense AI technology company, has introduced “Kill-Web Matching (KWM),” an artificial intelligence (AI)–based command decision support system designed to assist military commanders in making fast and accurate decisions in complex battlefield environments.
KWM serves as an AI staff system that complements structural limitations of existing command systems, such as information gaps, decision-making speed, and consistency of command. It can also be linked to the Korean Command and Control System (KCCS) to enhance interoperability.
The key feature of KWM is its ability to automatically execute the full process of “target recognition – weapon matching – attack command” within two minutes, including human-in-the-loop verification for final decision-making.
This capability was verified during the pilot operation of the Army’s “Tiger Boost Project.” In that demonstration, KWM analyzed battlefield data collected through real-time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets, automatically recommended optimal weapon systems, and converted command decisions into AI-assisted attack procedures.
KWM consists of five main modules:
-
AI-based object recognition engine
-
Mission and resource matching algorithm
-
Topographic and field information analyzer
-
Pre-trained weapons operation scenario database
-
Command and control system linkage module
All components are designed to operate in a closed, on-premises network environment, ensuring data security and reliability.
KWM is suitable for all military personnel engaged in battlefield operations. Its AI recommendation function enhances mission efficiency across multiple units, including command, reconnaissance, surveillance, and strike operations. Furthermore, KWM can serve as a decision-support tool in various contexts, such as operation planning, simulation, post-operation analysis, and tactical training.
FUNZIN is currently expanding the “KWM series”, developing dedicated AI staff systems for specific domains such as air defense, thermal imaging, chemical and biological defense, and power support. The company plans to enter the global defense market in earnest starting in 2026.
FUNZIN has already secured a ₩13.3 billion investment from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and is pursuing further technological collaboration. It is also in talks with R-DAS, a Slovak fixed-wing drone company, for potential cooperation in Europe, and plans to explore AI performance enhancement through quantum computing technology.
“KWM is not just a technology but a foundation for structural innovation—to transform the entire command system into an AI-driven one,” said Kim Deuk-hwa, CEO of FUNZIN. “We aim to develop practical AI solutions that can extend beyond defense into public and industrial applications.”
