This year, two new projects will be promoted: avionics integration technology and single-cable umbilical technology. Avionics refers to electronic equipment for aircraft and spacecraft, and the goal is to integrate existing equipment for small launch vehicles to reduce weight and cost by up to 20% compared to current levels. Umbilical is a connecting device that supplies oxidizer, fuel, electricity, etc., to the launch vehicle, and it is being developed in a single-cable connection method that does not require a launch tower to reduce costs and suit small launch vehicles. Danam Systems and Hanyang ENG have been selected as the lead research and development institutions for avionics integration technology and single-cable umbilical technology, respectively.
