About Sumbi

Based in Incheon, South Korea, SOOMVI, legally known as 주식회사 숨비, is an aerospace technology company established in April 2015. The firm was founded by CEO Inseon Oh, whose background as an instructor trainer for the National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) provided a specialized perspective on water surface and underwater conditions, influencing the company's initial focus. SOOMVI began its journey by developing specialized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for life-saving missions, with an early milestone being the creation of a marine rescue multicopter used in pilot services for the cities of Incheon and Gangneung.

Read full description

The company engineers and manufactures industrial-grade drones for both public and military clients, operating primarily in the aerospace and defense markets. Its business model encompasses the direct sale of customizable drones and the rental of its comprehensive rescue drone systems, which includes educational components. Revenue is generated through these sales and rentals, addressing high-stakes industrial and safety demands. A core component of SOOMVI's product line is its proprietary HYPERVISOR Operating System, which utilizes artificial intelligence for autonomous recognition, learning, and the implementation of robust safety features. One of its notable products, the S-200 rescue drone, can carry a 20kg payload and travel at speeds of up to 90km per hour, significantly improving response times for rescue operations.

Evolving from its initial focus on rescue systems, SOOMVI is now advancing into the Personal Air Vehicle (PAV) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) sectors. The company is developing its own Flight Control Computer System (FCCS), an AI-based platform designed for real-time object recognition and collision avoidance during flight. This strategic pivot positions the company to compete in the future mobility market. The firm's credibility is reinforced by numerous patents, copyrights, and awards, including being recognized with the 'Most Trusted Brand' award in the drone category.
