- #SBC(Single Board Computer)
We are a defense weapons systems production specialist, and we participate continuously in the development of new defense weapons systems in a variety of areas including aeronautic electronics, guided weapons, electronic warfare, and communications on the foundation of over 20 years of accumulated technical capabilities. From the components of digital/RF units that are responsible for the core functions of weapons systems to auxiliary systems, we develop and produce products that meet the required specifications of our clients, and we also work toward nationalizing core components that are imported from abroad. We carry out our own development and production of single board computers, which are widely used for weapons systems and signal processing, and we also supply panel computers that are used on aircraft (rotating wing and fixed wing), signal processing devices (digital reception boards and frequency synthesizers, etc.) and RF simulators used for electronic warfare, and digital signal processing modules used for the communications and guided weapons areas.

Business Results
Market Outlook
- Single board computers (SBC) are used in a variety of areas including IoT, robots, and embedded systems, and are receiving a lot of interest from the domestic and foreign markets. In the domestic market, the market scale for SBCs was estimated at around KRW 300 billion for the single year 2020. This represents a growth of approximately 10% over the previous year. This was caused by growth in the industrial embedded area due to the development of new technologies like 5G and IoT, and analysis shows that the market scale for SBCs is growing continuously. In addition, SBCs are receiving considerable attention from foreign markets. The scale of the worldwide SBC market was approximately USD 900 million in 2020, and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% on average is predicted for 2021 through 2028. This growth is expected to be greatly affected by increased demand from expansion in industrial embedded systems for areas like IoT, smart cities, and autonomous vehicles and technological development. In the current SBC market, demand is increasing for improved functionality, miniaturization, lower prices, and power efficiency, and a variety of technical developments and innovations are expected to meet this demand.
Commercialization Plans
-
Related products are currently in production, and we are anticipating the major SBC component PowerPC being discontinued by working on using the ARM core-based CPU LX2160A with VITA Form-Factor which is capable of stable operations in rugged environments while producing SBCs with general-use hardware and applying domestic technological developments. In the future, we will use these SBCs to complete platforms capable of application to a variety of weapons systems and establish conditions for exports by attracting foreign partners to work toward entering foreign markets and establishing global marketing.
