North Korea Tests New AI-Guided Zam-2.0 Torpedo
· World · Times of India, NDTV
North Korea has conducted an underwater test of a new AI-equipped torpedo, the Zam-2.0, as part of an ongoing effort to bolster its naval capabilities. State media reported the test was a success, confirming improvements in propulsion technology and the integration of artificial intelligence for target detection and guidance. This demonstration follows the underwater launch of two strategic cruise missiles earlier in the week. Pyongyang has conducted over 180 related tests in the past five years to develop this technology. The move is part of a broader strategy by leader Kim Jong Un to modernize the country's navy and challenge regional missile defences.
Why it matters
The development of AI-guided naval weaponry increases the threat profile for South Korea and the US by potentially improving the precision and stealth of North Korean maritime assets. It signals a shift toward more sophisticated, automated military technology in the region.
