Seoul is looking to increase its military capabilities as they end a system under which, if war breaks out, American commanders will be able to dominate their combined forces.

The satellite "hoped to increase the independent operational capabilities of the South Korean military", 

Seoul and Washington are security allies and U.S. stations have 28,500 troops in the country.

But their relationship has narrowed in recent years, with Pyongyang triggered by differences in their outlook, and more on the responsibility of sharing expenses.
