The Korean-style three-axis system refers to the combination of the first axis, the Kill Chain, and the second axis, the Korean Air and Missile Defense (KAMD) system, with the addition of the Mass Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR) plan.

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The Presidential Transition Committee's Foreign Affairs and Security Subcommittee received a briefing from the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) on the 25th and discussed measures to strengthen missile response capabilities.

The briefing was conducted with the attendance of the ADD Deputy Director, Head of Policy Planning Department, Head of Research Planning Department, and Director of the Technology Policy Office.

Through the briefing, the Transition Committee and ADD discussed plans to enhance missile capabilities supporting the three-axis system in connection with President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's pledges. In particular, measures to establish missile response capabilities against North Korea from space were discussed.

The three-axis system consists of the Kill Chain, which preemptively strikes North Korea's nuclear and missile threats in case of emergency; the Korean Air and Missile Defense (KAMD) system, which intercepts missiles launched by North Korea; and the Korean Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR) system, which retaliates against North Korea by launching a large number of ballistic missiles.

Additionally, strategies to lead advanced defense technologies such as artificial intelligence and unmanned autonomy, cyber and network, directed energy including lasers, and quantum physics were discussed in preparation for future warfare.
