South Korean firm LIG Nex1 has showcased its next-generation tracked robotic platform built for precision strike and ground support missions.
Named G-Sword, the unmanned system features a turret-mounted cannon and the locally developed Raybolt anti-tank missile system, giving it a mix of direct-fire and anti-armor capability.
Beyond its weapons fit, the platform can be equipped with air defense modules, communication relay payloads, and other mission kits to allow it to support multiple roles on the battlefield.
The company is reportedly exploring additional payload integrations, including counter-defense and electronic warfare systems.
The robot uses AI-assisted navigation paired with terrain-scanning sensors that help it maneuver through challenging environments.
“The G-Sword represents a new level of unmanned land combat capabilities. With integration of AI-powered situational awareness, it brings enhanced survivability and utility to both frontline and support elements,” a LIG Nex1 spokesperson said, as quoted by Defence Blog.
Deeper Dive Into the System
G-Sword sports a “shoot-and-scoot” capability that allows it to fire and reposition quickly against hostile tanks and other armored threats.
It can also coordinate an attack in formations with other manned or unmanned platforms as part of what LIG Nex1 calls a “scalable combat ecosystem.”
The robot’s sensors generate real-time terrain maps to support route planning and hazard avoidance, helping the vehicle maintain mobility even in contested or degraded conditions.
According to the company, the platform is primarily developed to operate autonomously in high-threat environments.
G-Sword made its public debut at the 2025 Asia Dive Expo in Seoul.
