LIG D&A announced on September 18, 2026, that it had participated as the chair company of the Korea Defense Industry Security Association at the launch ceremony of the "Defense Supply Chain Security Win-Win Partnership" held at JW Marriott Hotel in Seoul.

The event, organized by the Korea Defense Industry Security Association and sponsored by the National Intelligence Service and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, was attended by approximately 40 participants, including 14 major domestic defense system companies such as LIG D&A, Hanwha Aerospace, and Hyundai Rotem, as well as related government agencies and partner companies.

This partnership was established on the understanding that the protection of defense technology and supply chain security is not the sole responsibility of individual companies, but a joint task that requires the collective response of the government and the defense industry. The initiative aims to strengthen the security capabilities of partner companies, especially as exports, joint development, and local production of K-Defense products increase, raising the importance of supply chain security management that includes all partners.

The participating organizations agreed through a "Defense Supply Chain Security Win-Win Cooperation Joint Declaration" to enhance the overall security capabilities of the defense supply chain and to support partner companies in establishing stable security management systems. In addition to sharing security expertise and exemplary cases from system integrators, they will listen to the difficulties faced by partner companies and further expand cooperation among the government, industry, and specialized agencies.

LIG D&A plans to share security-related experiences and best practices with its partner companies and proactively identify and address potential vulnerabilities that may arise within the supply chain. The company will also cooperate with relevant government agencies and the Korea Defense Industry Security Association to help small and medium-sized partners respond proactively to changes in both domestic and international security environments.

A representative from LIG D&A stated, "In order to ensure the continuous growth and global competitiveness of K-Defense, it is essential to enhance the security capabilities of the entire supply chain, including both system integrators and partner companies. With this partnership as an opportunity, we will further strengthen our win-win cooperation with our partners and actively contribute to building a reliable defense supply chain."
