KMAQ-2 'Kingfisher' is Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles operated by [[Royal Joseon Armed Forces|Royal Joseon Air Force and Royal Joseon Navy]]. KMAQ-2 made its first flight in 2017 and began deploying to the Air Force in 2020, and was designed to operate on ground runways and CATOBAR aircraft carriers. 

==Development==

==Design==

===Artificial intelligence===

KMAQ-2 has robust and reliable self-management and self-flight capabilities through advanced algorithms running on high-performance processors. The management system has full control over the aircraft in a variety of situations, including aircraft condition monitoring and error detection, fuel condition monitoring, maximum g loads management, take-off and landing, flight control, waypoint navigation, aerial rendezvous, squadron flight, aerial refueling, and combat flight. Management systems can also operate in conjunction with manned or other unmanned aerial vehicles, requiring little human intervention. If communication with human commanders is not smooth due to enemy electronic warfare, management systems control aircraft to complete pre-populated tasks, eliminate immediate threats, and return to base. 

The management system is powered by powerful, highly autonomous AI. These features are backed by algorithms such as self-defense and air combat.

===Avionics===

KMAQ-2 identifies targets through sensors, such as the {{wp|Active electronically scanned array|AESA}} radar and {{wp|Electro-optical targeting system|EOTS}}. The AESA radar detects the exact location of non-stealth targets and detects the approximate location of stealth targets. The AESA radar can also perform electronic warfare, which jams enemy radars and missiles. 

EOTS guides the missile to the target by identifying the exact location of the stealth target identified by the AESA radar. The EOTS also enables the management system to detect the location, appearance, type, and number of ground targets from a long distance.
