Problem

Small-to-mid defense companies (20–100 employees) pursuing exports need to translate technical specifications and proposals into English, Arabic, Polish, and other languages. Accurate translation of defense terminology (MIL-STD, NATO codes, etc.) is critical. General translation services have a 15–20% error rate on defense terms, and hiring specialized translators costs ~$2,250–$3,750 (~3–5 million KRW) per specification document.

Solution

An AI translation engine loaded with defense terminology dictionaries (MIL-STD, NATO STANAG, etc.) for multilingual translation of technical specs and proposals. Features include side-by-side source/translation view, terminology consistency verification, and automatic format conversion for target country specifications.

Target: International business teams at defense SMEs pursuing exports, defense-specialized freelance translators, aged 30–50
Revenue Model: Per Transaction pricing: ~$74 per 10-page A4 document (~99,000 KRW), Monthly Subscription at ~$187/month (~249,000 KRW, includes 50 pages). Additional pages at ~$3.75/page (~5,000 KRW).
