South Korea's defense ministry said Thursday it will expand experimental projects to apply advanced information and communication technologies to military equipment and networks.
During a briefing on the "u-experimental project," the ministry reported that it injected 23.5 billion won ($20 million) into 41 projects between 2007 and 2016, and plans to spend more in the coming years.

Last year's major projects included a Radio over Internet Protocol-based mobile command and control system for the Special Warfare Command, and a big data-based system capable of detecting potential errors in the Air Force's air control radars, the ministry said in a statement.
The military also tested communication networks among military units in islands near the tense western sea border. (Yonhap)
