K-NIFV is a new AI-enabled infantry fighting vehicle featuring an unmanned turret with a 30mm cannon, twin anti-tank missile launchers.
Hanwha Aerospace has unveiled the Korea New Infantry Fighting Vehicle (K-NIFV), a next-gen tracked platform built to counter drones and operate in contested electromagnetic environments.
Introduced at Seoul ADEX 2025, the vehicle builds on the Redback design but swaps its manned turret for an unmanned system, improving crew protection and freeing up space for an eight-soldier team.
The modular turret mounts a 30mm cannon, with an option for a 40mm cased-telescoped gun, plus a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun and twin canisters for a domestically developed anti-tank guided missile.
