Ajou's Chan Hyeon Park and Hyo Seung Park win the First Prize at the Defense Science and Technology Fair

[16.08.12]


Two graduate students from Ajou University won the First Prize at the '2016 Defense Science and Technology Fair – Defense Technology Startup Challenge' hosted by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration.


The Fair, which was held from August 4th to the 7th at COEX, Seoul, aims to identify innovative ideas and foster venture businesses for the development of science technology through a partnership between the private, public, and military sectors. The Defense Technology Startup Challenge was a part of the Fair, along with the International Military Science & Technology session, the Defense Venture Idea Competition, and an introductory session on new defense technologies, etc.
 

The team of Chan Hyeon Park (Department of Systems Engineering, pictured above) and Hyo Seung Park (Department of Software), both graduate students from Ajou University, won the First Prize (Minister of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration Prize). The event had two categories – Student Division and Adult Division – and the First Prize winners received 15 million won in prize money.


The two students derived their award-winning idea from a patented technology posted on the Military Technology Marketplace – Guided Weapons Operating in an Ultra High Subsonic Environment Open Parachutes with Aerodynamic Load. The idea can be used to open a parachute when a commercial drone is in danger of crashing.


Chan Hyeon Park said, "I want to thank my guiding professor (Professor Eui Whan Kim, Department of Systems Engineering) for fully supporting students' interests and their personal goals."
