North Korean state media, however, claimed that it struck a target around 1,000 km away.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>South Korea&#8217;s defence ministry said the missile was within the detection and interception capabilities of South Korean and US defence assets. It said the two allies maintain a strong combined defence posture and assessed that the weapon could be detected and intercepted.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Why AI in missiles matters<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The significance of artificial intelligence in a missile lies less in simply making the weapon \u201csmarter\u201d and more in its potential to help the weapon process information and adjust its behaviour during flight.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) notes that hypersonic weapons combine high speed with manoeuvrability and relatively low-altitude flight, creating major challenges for conventional missile-defence systems. Unlike a traditional ballistic trajectory, a manoeuvring weapon can follow a less predictable path.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>That matters because missile defence depends heavily on detecting, tracking and predicting an incoming weapon&#8217;s trajectory.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>CSIS says newer missile threats are increasingly flying lower, faster and on unpredictable trajectories, making them harder to detect and track and increasing the importance of advanced sensor networks.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>AI could potentially add another layer to this problem.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>The importance of AI in missiles is therefore not that it makes a weapon automatically \u201cunstoppable\u201d, but that AI-assisted guidance could potentially make a manoeuvring missile more adaptive and its trajectory harder for missile-defence systems to predict.<\/div>\n<p><br
