Lumenix CEO Shin Woo-jin innovates with lasers for drone defense and communication
There is a man obsessed with RAY. He blocks drone (unmanned aerial vehicle) attacks with a laser and chases away birds that cause aircraft accidents. He also uses lasers for communication between thousands of islands. This is the story of Shin Woo-jin, the CEO of Lumenix.
On the 9th, at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, CEO Shin said, “When a drone takes off, it can be shot down with a laser,” adding, “The laser will be a game changer in modern warfare.”
In 2019, CEO Shin founded Lumenix, a laser specialist company, with support from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology. Lumenix is named after the Latin word for light, lumen. The company is developing technology and equipment to block drone attacks, supplying them to domestic corporations.
