The collaboration will use BAE Systems’ experience in military GPS and anti-jamming solutions to provide enhanced reliability for advanced guided weapons. It also aims to strengthen the global competitiveness of the Deep Strike Capability system while meeting NATO interoperability requirements.
Hanwha’s Deep Strike Capability offers a flexible, multi-calibre and multi-range rocket launch platform designed to adapt to a range of missions. Its dual-launcher configuration allows multiple types of guided rockets to be deployed from a single platform, enabling greater firepower and operational flexibility.
“The purpose of this cooperation with BAE Systems is to secure advanced electronic warfare protection technology to protect our guided weapon systems,” said Billy Boowhan Lee, the Head of PGM Business Group of Hanwha Aerospace, adding, “Based on a technological advantage to counter electronic warfare threats, we will strengthen our position in the global market.”
“Our collaboration with Hanwha will help give operators added versatility in the field when they need it most,” said Luke Bishop, Director of Navigation and Sensor Systems at BAE Systems. “That versatility combined with our highly reliable military GPS products provide users with a product they can trust will work in the most contested environments.”
The new guidance system developed through this partnership is expected to give Hanwha’s Deep Strike Capability improved precision and operational reliability. It is also strategically designed to enhance the system’s appeal in the European and allied defence markets.
