[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Police Agency will actively engage in research, development, and commercialization using cutting-edge science and technology to address various security issues that are currently difficult to handle. A chatbot will be developed to allow teenagers to easily and comfortably obtain information about school violence and respond accordingly. Additionally, development of a low-altitude drone countermeasure system targeting national security facilities and privacy, as well as IP camera technology utilizing quantum technology to maintain top-level security, will be pursued.

On the 28th, the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Police Agency announced that they will officially launch the "Pilot Project for Promoting Public Research Outcomes and Commercialization in Scientific Policing," which aims to dramatically improve the current vulnerable public security issues using advanced science and technology.

As new types of crimes using advanced technology have recently increased, the need to enhance policing capabilities through science and technology has grown. The Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Police Agency plan to apply research results, which have so far remained as research outcomes, to actual policing sites through support for technology commercialization to strengthen public security capabilities and protect socially vulnerable groups.

Specifically, the project includes short-term policing research and development (R&D) technology commercialization (2 years, approximately 600 million KRW per year) that applies technologies at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5-6 to policing sites within two years, as well as the identification of promising basic and fundamental research outcomes and their linkage to technology commercialization in the policing field through preliminary planning (3 months, 30 million KRW) and the main project (3 years and 6 months, approximately 600 million KRW per year).

First, the short-term policing R&D technology commercialization projects include the development of a school violence information-providing chatbot, an integrated solution for low-altitude drone countermeasures, and an intelligent forensic gait analysis program. These projects aim to solve policing field problems based on science and technology in the short term and strengthen national policing services and capabilities. Project execution by lead research institutions is expected to begin next month. The school violence information-providing chatbot covers topics related to juvenile crime and is an information-providing chat robot using social networking services to make it easy and convenient for teenagers to use. The integrated solution for low-altitude drone countermeasures aims to develop a mobile integrated solution that quickly detects, recognizes, blocks, and neutralizes illegal unmanned aerial vehicles in various environments. The intelligent forensic gait analysis program development involves creating an AI-based gait analysis system using biomechanical data to improve the reliability of forensic gait analysis, a criminal investigation technique that tracks suspects by their walking patterns.

The technology commercialization of basic and fundamental research outcomes in the policing field targets the development of ▲ brainwave-based authenticity verification testing methods and equipment ▲ quantum technology-based IP cameras that block security threats ▲ video analysis technology-based traffic enforcement equipment and operation platforms.

The Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Police Agency stated, "Through the joint promotion of policing technology commercialization by the two ministries, we expect to solve policing field problems with science and technology, expand the foundation for scientific policing promotion, and contribute to the activation of the policing industry directly related to public safety," adding, "We will continue to work together with multifaceted support to promote research and development and the spread of commercialization."
