This contract amount corresponds to about 16% of SEC&#8217;s total sales for the previous year and about 69% of its defense sector sales.<\/p>\n<p>This agreement is significant as it demonstrates that SEC\u2019s LINAC technology, which has been commercialized since 2017, is now entering a full-scale revenue scaling-up phase in the defense sector. As the contract volume increases based on prior supply experience and technological credibility, expectations are rising for additional orders in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The LINAC inspection equipment supplied by SEC uses high-powered X-rays to precisely detect internal defects in target objects through a non-destructive method. It is used for quality verification of large products in the defense, rocket, and aerospace sectors, and is applied in fields where high-reliability inspection technology is required.<\/p>\n<p>According to SEC&#8217;s 2025 business report, the basic order backlog for defense-use LINAC stands at about 11.6 billion won. With this contract reflected, the total order backlog is expected to exceed 20 billion won.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, this contract is drawing market attention as it is the first mandatory disclosure since SEC\u2019s listing. There is also an assessment that actual large-scale revenue is now being generated from previous defense supply experience, raising expectations for future performance growth.<\/p>\n<p>SEC is expanding its electron beam application business from its traditional focus on semiconductor and industrial inspection equipment to defense, energy, food, and medical sectors. The LINAC-based inspection equipment business is expected to serve as a key cash cow, driving both rapid growth in scale and improved profitability in a short period, thanks to high equipment prices.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>      Hot Picks Today<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiae.co.kr\/en\/article\/2026051309593811428\" title=\"Even with High Oil Price Relief Payment, Additional 300,000 Won Per Person to Be Provided...
