  "summary": "The aerospace and defense industry in South Korea must accelerate its shift towards software-driven technologies and improve collaboration between major manufacturers and smaller suppliers, according to executives who spoke at the Jinju International Forum on Entrepreneurship. At the forum's third session, industry representatives from companies such as Anduril Korea, AeroVironment, Korean Air, LIG Defense & Aerospace, and ANH Structure highlighted the need to adapt to emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. John Kim, head of Anduril Korea, emphasized the need for a faster shift to software-defined defense and autonomous systems, citing Anduril's Lattice platform as an example of an open, sensor-agnostic, dual-use AI and software integration platform.",
