Defense submarine cables are used for power supply and signal transmission to sensing sensors. Under the supervision of the Agency for Defense Development, LS Cable & System developed the cable in 2018. The company is developing optical cables that can be used in deep seas with depths exceeding 2 km, such as the Pacific Ocean.

LS Cable & System acquired shares in KTS to target not only existing submarine power cables but also the optical cable market. Submarine optical cables have a wide range of applications, including intercontinental data transmission, installation of submarine seismometers, and sensor connections for ecosystem surveys.

A company representative stated, "Since KT Submarine has expertise in building intercontinental submarine cables, we expect to create synergy in the optical cable business."
