MOASOFT

What MOASOFT does

MOASOFT (주)모아소프트) is a South Korean privately-held software engineering company founded in 1998 that develops reliability, safety, and digital engineering software and services for defense weapon systems, aerospace platforms, and adjacent mission-critical industries. Its core offering is a Digital Engineering Platform combining multi-physics simulation (electromagnetic, structural, fluid, thermal), RAM-C/CBM+ reliability analysis, software verification, certification consulting, and AI-based reliability prediction — organized into six product lines: AI+ Solution, AI+ Mobility, 시스템융합 (System Convergence), SW 검증 (Software Verification), SW 인증 (Software Certification), and 가상환경검증 (Virtual Environment Verification). Notable technical components include the proprietary SDAS+AI tool for weapon system software development with requirements traceability and AI-driven reliability prediction, plus Digital Mission Effect (DME) analysis for combat training simulations and AI-based VR/MR counter-drone training platforms.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: professional engineering services (software verification, EMC/EMI analysis, RAM-C studies, certification consulting), software tool distribution and licensing (proprietary SDAS+AI plus authorized reseller agreements for Ansys, LDRA, Remcom, and WIPL-D with associated maintenance and support contracts), and fee-based technical training delivered through Seoul, Gyeongnam, and Daejeon education centers. Pricing for training is publicly listed at KRW 880K per person for 2-day programs and KRW 1.32M per person for 3-day programs, with student and customer discounts. MOASOFT's enterprise field-sales motion is high-touch and long-cycle, anchored in flagship programs such as Korea's KF-21 Boramae supersonic fighter, L-SAM-II missile, K9 self-propelled artillery, KCTC tactical training system, and KDDX destroyer, with named customers including Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), Hanwha Aerospace, Hanwha Systems, LIG Nex1, the Agency for Defense Development (ADD), ETRI, KHNP, and Hyundai Motor Group affiliates.

MOASOFT is headquartered in Songpadong, Seoul, with 11-50 employees organized under the Moa Group alongside affiliates SDAS+AI (AI solutions and data analytics), MOAQVX, and UAM CENTER (Urban Air Mobility). Recent strategic activity (2025-2026) shows deliberate offensive expansion into adjacent verticals — counter-drone defense, UAM/counter-drone training, nuclear power plant V&V, and maritime defense — via MOUs and LOIs with ETRI, Alux, DuruiDS, and the Naval Ship Technical Research Institute. The company is founder-controlled under CEO 장주수 (Jang Ju-soo), with executive leadership including Executive Vice President 장정협, and operates with no disclosed external funding or parent ownership.
