GREETING
Welcome to Defence Information and Communication Association
Welcome!
We sincerely welcome you to visit the website of the DICA

Since its establishment in 2010, our association has played a leading role in the advancement of defense ICT, serving as a steadfast bridge between the military and industry.
Today, we stand at the heart of a great digital transformation characterized by hyper-intelligence and hyper-connectivity. As cutting-edge technologies—such as AI, quantum computing, cloud services, and 6G communications—merge with the defense sector, the battlefield is rapidly evolving into a network-based, smart-power environment.
Keeping pace with these fast-changing trends is essential for fostering a future-ready military and securing national security competitiveness.
In response to these demands of our time, DICA aims to be a dynamic platform where the military's advanced requirements meet the innovative technologies of the industry sector.
In particular, we will focus on supporting practical information exchange and R&D collaboration necessary for:
● Building AI-based Command, Control, Communication, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems.
● Strengthening cyber warfare capabilities.
● Developing next-generation cyber resilience systems for dual-use (military and civil) applications.
I hope this website serves as a valuable resource for our various activities and the latest trends in defense ICT. I look forward to leading the era of "Defense AI & IT Convergence" together with your active participation.
Thank you.
President of the DICA INSUB SHIN
