Recent rampage(Don't ask questions< span>)The frequency of occurrences is increasing, and voices are growing that the police's on-site response capabilities must be strengthened. Last 2021when the Incheon floor noise and stabbing incident occurred, controversy arose due to the police's poor response to the scene.< span>, Accordingly, the police strengthened training for both new and incumbent police officers and introduced new electroshock devices, Updated field response equipment. I went out on my back.

Currently, police use handguns, electronic stun guns(< span>Taser guns), suppression batons, and light batons are used to suppress crimes and apprehend criminals< /span>. We are reluctant to use firearms due to their high lethality and the risk of being embroiled in controversy over excessive suppression, but electroshock weapons are widely used because they can temporarily incapacitate the target. The problem is that it is useless if you can't hit it in one go because continuous shooting is impossible. The two electrode needles must be accurately inserted into the human body for current to flow, so if even one misses, it cannot be suppressed.

Inforce Technology is a company specializing in launch-type electroshock devices and manufactures products that complement the shortcomings of electroshock devices used in existing fields based on self-developed high-voltage modules.·Producing. We met and talked with Kim Beom-jin, CEO of Info Technology, who is leading the way in creating a safe society by developing a Korean-style electroshock device with pure domestic technology..

What kind of company is Info Technology

Infos Technology develops IT products based on technology where people and the environment coexist through abundant product development experience and diverse knowledge of new technologies. It is a company that develops. Since our founding in 2009, we have had experience participating in the development of IT products and medical devices for numerous global companies, 2016. We have been developing launch-type electroshock devices since 2008 and are growing into a specialized manufacturer of electroshock devices. In Korea, sales of launch-type electroshock devices are restricted to the general public other than for security purposes, but there is steady demand from the military and police. As a way to strengthen field response capabilities, launch-type electroshock weapons are highly preferred, and is expected to replace hazardous equipment such as handguns. Doing. Accordingly, our company is making efforts to create more advanced launch-type electroshock device products through continuous research and development..

The CEO himself graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and worked as an engineer developing gas masks at a company producing defense materials and at an IT company developing mobile phones and laptops. There is a history. While working, whenever I had the opportunity to develop defense or security products, I wanted to take on the challenge. In 2016an opportunity arose to develop a related product through a national project, and we won an order for a national project and began full-scale development. The products made by our company are a fusion of IT and defense technology and can be considered close to mobile phones. All the memory functions and memory devices found in mobile phones are built in, and a high-voltage module that delivers an electric shock has been added >.

What is your main business and differentiation

Inforce Technology is the only company in Korea to develop and produce electroshock devices using the discharge effect of electricity. An electroshock device using high voltage and micro-current is the most efficient equipment that can quickly subdue a target in a security field or a field that threatens public safety. The biggest difference between existing electroshock devices and the Korean type electroshock device INFOS-R3 developed by Info Technology is that it is capable of continuous firing span>. Existing products have disposable cartridges(projectile), so they can be easily aimed incorrectly or There was a problem that if the subject was not subdued at once, the subject had to be dealt with physically. On the other hand, the Korean electroshock device INFOS-R3 developed by our company is the world's first revolver-type 3 >It is a continuous firing electroshock device. It has a 3multiple function, so if it is not suppressed in 1circuit, it will fire up to 3 times. It is a product optimized for public security sites because it can quickly subdue a target. In addition, , it has a built-in smart function, so it can record launch time and electricity delivery time to prevent injuries due to excessive electric shock. .

Axon, an American security products company, accounts for almost 90% of the electroshock device market. Occupied more than . The company holds most of the patents related to launch-type electroshock devices, so the area in which latecomers can enter is very narrow. What is particularly difficult is that the long part through which the fired bullet passes is called the barrel, and this part must have a rotation section so that there is no problem for the projectile to fly. However, the projectile electroshock gun does not have such a part and flies when fired, so the propellant is also very important. , Unlike ordinary guns, it conducts electricity. The structure is also difficult and has many difficulties. Nevertheless, Info Technology has continued its research and development since 2016avoiding patents, 3 span>We have created a Korean-style electroshock device that can fire repeatedly. Because the launch-type electroshock device used previously is a foreign product, it is expensive, about 200,000 won per unit, and even cartridges are expensive for one shot. The maintenance cost is high, around 3 to 4 million won. On the other hand, our INFOS-R3 costs less than 10010,000 won per cartridge. It is also reasonable as it is supplied in the low 10,000 won range per month.

INFOS-R3 requested animal testing from Asan Medical Center to prove that there was no significant difference from Exxon's product, and also passed various rigorous verification processes such as military and police.< /span>. Since many engineers who developed in the IT field work there, they are fully capable of responding to verification procedures such as reliability. As a result, not only domestic patents but also patents in the U.S., Japan, and Europe were obtained. We are working to acquire various certifications in preparation for future overseas sales..

Inforce Technology's core technology is a high-voltage module that is harmless to the human body and can cause muscle contraction and relaxation using high electrical voltage and microcurrent. We believe that the self-developed high-voltage module will be applied to various security products and be installed on various equipment in places where the safety of citizens is threatened, becoming the basis for creating a safe society.< span>. Therefore, , by applying this technology, we are developing various types of equipment that can be used in sites that pose a risk to the safety of citizens. /span>. We are currently developing a product that adds this technology to existing triple rods and long rods, and the goal is to commercialize it at the end of 2024 . We are currently developing a cordless type for the existing projectile electroshock device. When the development of these products is completed, the quality of life of citizens will improve.We believe that a safe society will be realized and we will do our best to ensure that a safe society is realized..

What are your future goals

Our ultimate goal is to create products that create a safe society, and we consider this the most important. In fact, it is simple to use a weapon to harm a person in a security setting or in a very emergency situation. You might think it's simple if you imagine the shooter ending the situation by shooting the criminal. However, no matter how much of a crime one has committed, taking one's life cannot be justified within the bounds of the law. The launch-type electroshock device never kills, and the same goes for other products that apply high-voltage module technology. We believe that this is an essential product not only in Korea but also around the world, and we hope that our product will help everyone enjoy a safe life..< /p>

Inforce Technology wants to become number one in the world, surpassing Exxon, which occupies most of the existing market. We plan to expand our lineup by developing a variety of products based on high-voltage module technology and aim to become a global company that stands tall around the world in the field of defense and security based on core technologies.< span>.
