Hanwha Aerospace to collaborate with BAE Systems on advanced anti-jamming GPS for guided missiles​

Hanwha Aerospace has signed a contract with BAE Systems to integrate next-generation, anti-jamming Global Positioning System (GPS) technology into Hanwha Aerospace’s Deep Strike Capability precision-guided weapon system.

This contract brings the two aerospace and defense technology companies together to collaborate in the critical field of advanced guidance technology. The collaboration will leverage BAE Systems’ world-renowned expertise in military GPS and anti-jamming solutions to counter sophisticated electronic warfare threats.

"The purpose of this cooperation with BAE Systems is to secure advanced electronic warfare protection technology to protect our guided weapon systems," said Billy Boo-hwan Lee, the Head of PGM Business Group of Hanwha Aerospace. “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 provides users with a product they can trust will work in the most contested environments.”

Hanwha's Deep Strike Capability system provides a flexible, multi-caliber, and multi-range rocket launch capability, adaptable to diverse missions, from suppressing enemy fire support to neutralizing targets in complex environments. Furthermore, its dual-launcher configuration allows the deployment of a wide range of guided rockets from a single platform, delivering superior firepower and operational flexibility.

The new guidance system, developed through this collaboration, is expected to provide Hanwha’s Deep Strike Capability system with superior precision and operational reliability, even in highly contested electronic environments.

This initiative is strategically engineered to meet NATO interoperability requirements, significantly enhancing the marketability of the system to European and other allied nations.

We are thrilled to announce that Hanwha Aerospace has signed a third contract with the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA) to deliver an additional 24 K9 VIDAR Self-Propelled Howitzers.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Norwegian officials who graced the ceremony, including Major General Lars Lervik, Chief of the Norwegian Army. A special thanks also goes to the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Norway, Min-jeong Seo, for her invaluable support in strengthening the ties between our two nations.

This continued trust from a key NATO ally is the strongest testament to the K9 platform's proven performance and reliability. We are fully committed to supporting the enhancement of Norway's sovereign defense capabilities and ensuring the successful delivery of these systems by 2027.

Looking ahead, our dedication to our Norwegian partners remains steadfast. We are eager to deepen our cooperation and explore how our broader range of advanced defense solutions can further contribute to the strength and modernization of the Norwegian Armed Forces

Hanwha's 8x8 Wheeled Self-Propelled Howitzer unveiled at AUSA 2025. It's not my cup of tea. To be precise, I don't like wheeled Self-Propelled Howitze. The K-9A3 incorporating the MUM-T concept, and the K-9A2 model, are more interesting.

This time, Hanwha finally showed the L-PGW (Loitering Precision Guided Weapon), which combines Chunmoo's guided rocket and loitering munition drone, in a video uploaded to its official YouTube channel.

As seen in the CTM-ASBM, the Chunmoo 3.0 demonstrates an attempt to encompass land, sea, and air. Both missiles are expected to be publicly unveiled around 2028.

The ROK Marine Corps has long requested an MLRS lighter than the K239. This model is designed for both land and ship-based deployment to support amphibious operations, enabling high-precision fire.

Should we call it K-HIMARS? In any case, this model uses an electric motor to drive the launcher and will be compatible with missiles like the CTM-MR or ASBM. It's a bit disappointing that it only holds four rounds, though.

This is the Poniard 70mm MLRS operated by the Marine Corps.

It was introduced for the purpose of low-cost interception of North Korean military hovercraft and high-speed boats.

Interesting they are under the navy.

They said it was for coastal defense. In fact, the ROKMC K-9 also has similar mission.

First HE-BB firing of K-9 this year!

In Joseon, there was a custom of firing cannons at the beginning of the year to drive away evil spirits and pray for good fortune in the new year.

Hanwha Defense USA Secures Research Agreement with DEVCOM-AC on K9 Family of Self-Propelled Howitzers​

ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 18, 2025 – This week, Hanwha Defense USA secured a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center (DEVCOM-AC) to integrate the U.S. government-designed 58-caliber cannon into Hanwha’s K9 family of vehicles from its Long-Range Precision Fires portfolio. This announcement comes as Hanwha Defense USA works toward supplying the K9 to the U.S. Department of War.

"This collaboration with the U.S. Army is a reflection of the versatility of the K9 turret—the centerpiece of Hanwha's family of Long-Range Precision Fires platforms," said Hanwha Defense USA COO Mike Smith. "The K9 closes capability gaps in volume and rate of fire, range, and rapid resupply, which translates into increased lethality and enhanced survivability of the American warfighter on the battlefield."

"The K9 is in service in nearly every potential theater of battle," said Hanwha Defense USA CEO Michael Coulter. "Of the five NATO nations that share a land border with Russia, four rely upon the K9 for Long-Range Precision Fires capability. This broadly dispersed base provides a global sustainment network that is unmatched. Wherever the U.S. Army goes, in all likelihood the K9 is already there."

The Army will mount a gun tube reminiscent of its dead Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) effort on top of a Hanwha Defense howitzer under a new research and development agreement with the South Korean manufacturer.

The partnership will pair Hanwha’s K9 family of self-propelled howitzers with the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Armaments Center (DEVCOM-AC) under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), the company announced today.

“This CRADA is a cooperative agreement that is not monetized,” a company spokesperson told Inside Defense in an email. “Both industry and government partners will exchange mutually beneficial technical data and expertise.”

The Army originally developed a 58-caliber cannon under the ERCA program, which in 2018 was the latest next-generation, self-propelled howitzer effort designed to more than double the Army’s artillery range. Six years later, service leaders instead announced they had canceled the program, pointing to failed prototype testing involving artillery fires wearing down the long gun tube.

The family of K9 systems “meets the size, weight, and power requirements for current production configurations and provides the growth margin to accommodate the 58-caliber cannon and other future technology insertion needs,” reads part of the announcement, from Hanwha.

The United States is quite fond of experimenting with a wide variety of approaches through other countries' weapons systems. If we're lucky, Korea might get a piece of the action in the future, but so far we haven't been able to seize that opportunity. We've had to settle for gathering various data.
