It was developed through the Design Technology Program for Warhead-Embedded Multi-Purpose High Explosive (MPHE). Depending on the mode (time-delay, impact) of the electronic fuse, it can effectively engage enemy trenches, concentrated forces, bunkers, and armored vehicles. Performance test results confirmed that the target performance was met, and the product received a pass rating.

The 40mm CTA APFSDS will likely be applied to the K-NIFV (Korean Next-generation Infantry Fighting Vehicle).

Unmanned welding robots in operation at Hanwha.
In particular, the dock automation rate increased by 23% ->40% due to the adoption of non-rail EGW WELDING CARRIAGE. It is said that it can weld steel plates up to 55mm thick. I don't know the rest of the terminology, so I can't explain it properly. Anyway, it is said to help prevent musculoskeletal diseases and ensure safety for welders and shorten the duration at the dock.

Currently, 120 units have been sold to Hanwha Ocean and are being applied to the large block assembly process, and sales have been made to other domestic shipbuilders. Other overseas shipbuilders are also seeking quotations. In the future, the company is considering expanding its application to welding steel structures such as wind towers and oil storage tanks.
This is an introduction video released by Hanwha showcasing the welding robots used in its shipyard. Fortunately, English subtitles are available. Of course, not every welding robot can replace welders... But couldn't they meet the necessary demand?
