Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Systems are exhibiting jointly under the theme “Field-Leading Innovation, Hanwha”. The companies are presenting systems already in service, co-produced with European industry and built for interoperability with NATO-standard equipment.
Hanwha Aerospace is showing a full-scale K9A2 self-propelled howitzer. The K9A2 is a variant of the K9 fitted with an automated ammunition-reloading system.
The K9A2 increases the rate of fire from six to eight rounds per minute. It also reduces the crew from five to three, while composite tracks improve mobility and stability.
The K9 is currently in service or on order with 10 countries. These include six NATO members.
Hanwha is also displaying the K10 ammunition resupply vehicle and a K9 mobile howitzer. The company is presenting these systems alongside other land combat platforms and unmanned systems.
A full-scale Chunmoo multiple rocket launcher is also on display. The system is in service with Poland and on order with Norway and Estonia.
Chunmoo can fire multiple munition types from a single launcher with two pods. These include the 239 mm CGR-080 guided rocket, the CTM-290 tactical missile and an Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile.
The display also includes a launcher integrated on a Daimler truck chassis. Hanwha is presenting a tractor-trailer configuration, the High-Performance MRLS and a performance-improvement roadmap.
Hanwha’s vehicle line-up includes the TIGON wheeled armoured vehicle and the K-NIFV infantry fighting vehicle. The company is also showing its unmanned ground vehicle family for manned-unmanned teaming.
The unmanned systems include the H-UGV combat vehicle, which is based on the K21 platform. It uses a diesel-hybrid powertrain and an AI-enabled unmanned turret.
Hanwha is also presenting the UCV-L reconnaissance vehicle. The vehicle is designed to move ahead of armoured units for scouting and surveillance.
The GRUNT multi-purpose unmanned ground vehicle is also part of the display. Together, the unmanned systems are intended to support manned-unmanned teaming concepts.
Hanwha’s air-defence portfolio covers several altitude tiers. The systems are supported by an AI-based command-and-control system.
The long-range L-SAM is being shown as a complete system. The display includes the interceptor, launcher, radar and engagement-control unit.
The company is also presenting the medium-range M-SAM launcher. The Low Altitude Missile Defence system is also included in the air-defence line-up.
In the counter-UAS segment, Hanwha is showing H-SHORAD. The low-altitude air-defence system integrates a 3D AESA radar, 30 mm gun, guided missile and jammer on a single platform.
Hanwha is also presenting H-SHIELD as a distributed counter-UAS system. It links one detection and engagement-control vehicle, fitted with an AESA radar, RF scanner and AI-based control unit, to multiple strike vehicles.
A laser air-defence weapon in service with the South Korean armed forces is also featured. Hanwha Systems is separately displaying sensors and systems for air defence, space-based analysis and maritime missions.
Hanwha Systems is showing its Multi-Function Radar for medium- and long-range surface-to-air missile systems. It is also presenting the Multi-Mission Radar, which combines counter-rocket, artillery and mortar detection with air-defence roles.
The company’s display also includes an Active Protection System and an AI-powered satellite-imagery analysis system. A Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel with maritime counter-UAS capabilities is also being exhibited.
Hanwha said it works with local industry in Poland to produce and maintain its systems. The company is also establishing the Hanwha Armoured Vehicle Centre of Excellence Europe, its first European production facility, in Romania.
Hanwha is pursuing additional industrial-cooperation arrangements with European partners. The company plans to sign cooperation agreements with several of them during Eurosatory.
