HD Hyundai Heavy Industries announced on Thursday, the 30th, that it has signed a contract with the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) for a system development project to upgrade the performance of three Jangbogo-II (Type 214) submarines, valued at 468.9 billion KRW.

This performance improvement project covers three of the nine Jangbogo-II submarines that have been in service for more than 10 years. Key equipment, including the Combat Management System, Towed Array Sonar, Mine Avoidance Sonar, and Buoy Antenna, will be replaced with the latest models. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries plans to complete the performance upgrade by 2033, in cooperation with LIG Nex1, which previously carried out the upgrade of the Jangbogo-I (Type 209) submarines.
