HD Hyundai has agreed to expand collaborative research and development on advanced warships with researchers from the University of British Columbia in Canada.

HD Hyundai signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the University of British Columbia (UBC), a top-tier university in western Canada, for the development of an autonomous ship navigation system based on advanced digital and artificial intelligence technologies and next-generation warship structures.

UBC is a prestigious research university that consistently ranks among the world's top 30 to 40 in global university evaluations. In particular, it recorded the 29th rank worldwide in the fields of Engineering and Computer Science. It also possesses TRIUMF, a particle and nuclear physics research facility led by the Canadian federal government, and is demonstrating significant research achievements in physics research based on the world's largest cyclotron equipment. It also enjoys high reputation in the fields of computer science, data science, artificial intelligence (AI), and civil and environmental engineering.

Under the agreement signed today, HD Hyundai and UBC have decided to embark on joint research and development in future shipbuilding fields, including advanced digital and AI-based ship design, digital twin-based simulation, and autonomous navigation systems.

An HD Hyundai official, speaking to this newspaper by phone, said, "We have joined hands with UBC to achieve a 'K-defense' one-team victory. We plan to combine efforts with Canada for advanced warship research and development in the future."
