🔥 LIG D&A, Unstoppable Momentum from the Middle East to South America with Airbus - 2026.07.22

Well, the market is alive! Having watched the market for 30 years, I can tell you that LIG Defense & Aerospace (LIG D&A)'s recent global moves are something else. Today's closing price was 671,000 KRW, a slight dip of 0.15%, but with foreigners net buying 17.11 billion KRW, it's being well supported. The macro environment is favorable, and news of the company's strengthening fundamentals is breaking every day.

Wide-ranging moves across Europe and the Middle East 🚀

Did you see the partnership with Airbus? LIG D&A has signed a technical cooperation agreement with European aerospace giant Airbus for next-generation Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) ^[1]. They’re planning technology exchanges and joint development in the drone sector—can you hear the roar of their global unmanned system competitiveness growing? It's perfect! On top of that, LIG D&A has secured a spot in the localization engine supply chain agreement signed between the Saudi Ministry of Investment and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries ^[2]. A picture of securing localization and strengthening the supply chain in the Saudi defense market—what did I tell you? That's how you break into the Middle East market!

Future-ready with AI and Electronic Warfare ☕

Preparation for future warfare is also proceeding smoothly. They've joined forces with the LG AI Research Institute to jointly develop an AI-based next-generation command and control system ^[3]. They intend to lead in weapon systems optimized for the ever-changing battlefield environment, and their technical prowess is evolving more and more. Furthermore, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration held a project kickoff meeting for the electronic warfare aircraft (Block-I) system development at the Pangyo House ^[4]. It's a long-range electronic attack system that paralyzes enemy air defense networks, with a goal of deployment by 2034. They've set up a solid long-term growth engine.

K-Defense expanding to South America 🔥

That's not all. They've also opened a Latin American representative office in Peru ^[5]. This is about solidifying their position in the Latin American defense market and increasing engagement with local clients—this is the textbook definition of a global offensive. Seeing them reach out across Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, a bullish scenario seems clear. I believe these major contract wins and technical cooperation pipelines are the core engines that will ultimately level up the company's fundamentals. Let's keep asking questions and watching to see what additional achievements they bring from the global stage.
