According to information released on the Republic of Korea Armed Forces Facebook account, the South Korean Navy has conducted a test-launch of local-made Hyunmoo-3 cruise missile from Son Won II-class (Type 214) submarine. The submarine-launched variant of the Hyunmoo III is designated as Haeseong III by the Republic of Korea Navy.

The SSM-700K Haeseong is a family ship launched sea-skimming surface-to-surface anti-ship cruise missile developed by the South Korean Agency for Defense Development (ADD), LIG Nex1, and the Republic of Korea Navy in 2003. The version launched underwater from submarines is called the Haeseong III.


The Haeseong III is a supersonic, precision-guided, submarine-launched land-attack cruise missile. It is the third variant developed within South Korea’s Haeseong cruise missile series and has a range of approximately 1,500 km. It entered operational service in 2013.


According to South Korean military sources, the Haeseong III has a range of 1,500 km with a circular error probability (CEP) of 1-3 m. The missile can reach a maximum speed of 830m/s. The missile is launched from the submarine’s torpedo tube, thus allowing it to equip submarines that do not have the more advanced vertical launch systems.


Type 214 is a diesel-electric submarine developed by German company Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW). It features diesel propulsion with an air-independent propulsion (AIP) system using Siemens polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells.


The Republic of Korea Navy has ordered nine Type 214 submarines, designated as Son Won-Il-class, to be built in Korea by Hyundai Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering; three first batch models had entered service since 2007, and six second batch models will enter service from 2012.

South Korea-based LIG Nex1 company is developing the Air-Launching Cruise Missile (ALCM) for the country's 5th generation fighter aircraft KF-X, whose prototype production continues.

One of the world's 100 largest defense industry organizations, South Korea-based LIG Nex1 company, in cooperation with the South Korean Defense Development Agency (ADD), will produce an Airborne Cruise Missile (ALCM), which will be the air-ground ammunition of the 5th generation fighter aircraft KF-X. ) is developing.

It is claimed that the "Long-Range Air-Launched Cruise Missile-II" missile, developed by LIG Nex1 and very similar to the SOM Cruise Missile developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE, is allegedly using the technology transferred by Germany-based Taurus Systems company.

According to the information obtained; In addition to the 260 Taurus KEPD 350 Cruise Missiles supplied by Taurus Systems for the F-15K Slam Eagle fleet by the Republic of Korea Air Force (RKAF), South Korea, the Korea System Challenge (KSC) company required for the penetrating warhead. transgendered the technology. It is claimed that this technology will also be used in the domestic cruise missile developed by the LIG Nex1.

Locally known as “400mm-class Air-to-Ship Guided Missile-II” (400mm급 공대함유도탄-II), this missile features a ducted ramjet propulsion with range of 500km. It is expected to undergo live fire testing in 2026 and enter service with the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) next generation fighter, the KF-X, in the late 2020s or early 2030s.

Contacted by Naval News, a Korean defense industry source confirmed that this missile is being developed by local missile systems manufacturer LIG Nex1 with the ADD (Agency for Defense Development, 국방과학연구소). According to the unofficial “Republic of Korea Armed Forces” Facebook page (a reliable source of Korean military information with over 50,000 followers), this particular missile is a separate project from the Republic of Korea Navy’s elusive supersonic anti-ship missile.

In addition to the procurement of Meteor long range air-to-air missiles for KF-X, South Korea is developing its own long range, ramjet-powered, beyond visual range (BVR) missile. According to an ADD publication (Defense Science and Technology Plus No. 248 2nd Quarter 2020), core technologies researched for the “400mm-class Air-to-Ship Guided Missile-II” will be applied to the new BVR air to air missile. Technologies such as “ramjet engine, and data link technologies secured while preparing for the development of the air-to-ship-II missile will be able to be applied to the domestic development of 200mm air-to-air missile without much difficulty”. It is likely that the “400mm” anti-ship missile and the “200mm” air to air missile will share the same design concept and shape, although their main components are different in size. Through this “same design but smaller size” approach, the ADD believes that it will lower the mass production costs for the ducted ramjet missile, which is pointed out as a relative disadvantage compared to the production of solid rocket propulsion missile.

Supersonic Air-to-Ground Missile is unveiled at the Sacheon Airshow 2024. This is a flight test model, not an actual launchable model. It is made to the same weight and size as the real thing so that it can be dropped by the test aircraft, in this case the FA-50. The core technology of the Ducted Ramjet engine is still being studied (2020-2025)

According to the article, there will be a total of three flight tests starting in 2025. Supersonic air-to-ground missiles can fly at a speed of Mach 2.5 and hit ground targets 300 kilometers away. The missile will feature a multi-mode seeker with both a radar and EO/IR seeker.

It is expected to be in the Air Force's inventory in the 2030s.
