Hanwha Systems (CEO Seong-cheol Eo) announced that it will participate in the ‘6th International Maritime Defense Industry Exhibition (MADEX 7)’ to be held at Busan BEXCO Exhibition Center 9 from June 1 (Wed) to 13 (Fri).
Hanwha Systems is a global total solution company equipped with advanced defense electronics and smart technologies in the IT field. Based on the core competencies of digital software in both the defense and ICT business sectors, it is creating convergence synergies in the defense and civil sectors. Since 1977, based on technology and research manpower accumulated over the past 40 years, it has established a unique position by successfully carrying out system development projects corresponding to the brain and sensory organs of military weapon systems.
Hanwha Systems emphasized that it is solidifying its status as Korea’s leading defense industry company by expanding its business beyond the ground, marine, and air fields to the space and cyber fields. Furthermore, we will strengthen digital innovation competitiveness based on cutting-edge IT services such as AI and blockchain, and continue to pursue new growth engines for the future, such as space internet business through UAM, low-orbit satellites and satellite communication antennas, and MEMS vehicle semiconductor production and electric vehicle business. are excavating
At this exhibition, Hanwha Systems will present its ‘marine manned and unmanned complex system’ capability and ‘Smart Battleship’ vision through its ▲low-orbit communication satellite ▲marine unmanned system ▲ship integrated solution and ▲anti-drone system. As a company that provides super-intelligence and super-convergence-based ‘marine power total solutions’, it announced that it would like to enhance its status.
▲ ‘Complex unmanned surface boat’ capable of performing surface surveillance and underwater exploration missions ▲ Korea’s only large-scale ‘unmanned submersible for anti-submarine reconnaissance’ capable of performing anti-submarine surveillance and reconnaissance for up to 30 days ▲ Automatically approaches and identifies mines ‘Autonomous navigation-based mine removal processor’ that can be removed through self-destruction ▲Introducing a solution that will strengthen the rapid search capability within the golden time by linking unmanned surface boats and cluster unmanned submersibles, We present a total solution.
Hanwha Systems will also showcase the core technology of Smart Battleship through a next-generation naval combat system solution that can operate various systems within a vessel in a single control environment. The ‘Integrated Combat System’, an automated system that supports combat missions, integrated operation of manned and unmanned complex systems, and integrated management of ships using a three-screen multi-function console, and ‘Intelligent Combat System’, which applies artificial intelligence technology to a series of engagement procedures, will be exhibited. We plan to present a solution that can maximize operational efficiency and combat performance of ships.
Through the Russia-Ukraine war, the effectiveness of attack drones is attracting attention, and on the contrary, the importance of anti-drone systems that can detect and respond to attack drones in advance is also highlighted. Accordingly, Hanwha Systems is promoting the localization of an anti-drone system using overseas capture drones and domestic radar and EO/IR equipment.
The ‘anti-drone’ system is divided into ‘hard kill’, which directly destroys or captures the drone, and ‘soft kill’, which loses its function due to jamming and paralysis. Hard kill can cause civil damage, and drone jamming can affect the safety of civil aircraft using GPS and surrounding electronic devices, so the ‘net capture type’ drone has excellent stability and can collect the target drone as it is. The defense system is getting attention. In this exhibition, Hanwha Systems combines the net capture type drone of Fortem Technologies, which Hanwha Aerospace invested in last February, and the dedicated sensor technology for domestic electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) drones, and integrates them into an anti-drone integrated system. presents
An official from Hanwha Systems said, “For 2000 years since 20, we have independently developed and localized the CMS (Combat Management System), which is the ‘brain of a ship’. We are supplying combat systems for over 90 surface and underwater vessels, including submarines.” The size of the export contract is 4 million dollars (approximately 2400 billion won).”
As a result, Hanwha Systems will supply CMS to a total of 13 Philippine vessels. Last year, we exported domestic combat systems to two Philippine patrol combat corvettes (PCC), and the combat system business for two 2t Philippine frigates ordered in 2017 and Philippine frigates (DPCF, Del Pilar-class in 2600). Frigate), following the performance improvement project of three ships, recorded the fourth export to the Philippine Navy.
Not resting on its laurels, Hanwha Systems is promoting participation in the ‘commercial low-orbit satellite-based communication system’ project to secure a military network using private low-orbit satellites. We expect to be able to quickly build a military low-orbit communication satellite network by utilizing the satellite network of OneWeb, which invested 2021 million dollars (at the time of investment, about 3 billion won) in 3450, Move), transport, and ship terminal development, mass production, and even service supply are planned.
An official said, “If a multi-layered, hyper-connected network that integrates satellite and terrestrial networks is established, smooth operation of manned and unmanned complex systems as well as uninterrupted communication in emergency situations such as wartime and disasters are expected to be possible. .”
Meanwhile, MADEX 2023 is a ‘defense exhibition and government subsidy-supported exhibition (Korea Defense Industry Promotion Association)’ for publicity and export promotion of defense and export companies. Exhibition period ▲ Ships, submarines, maritime defense systems and equipment ▲ Marine equipment, marine exploration vessels and special vessels ▲ Defense industry-related products and technologies ▲ Engines and navigation systems ▲ Shipyards, shipbuilding equipment and materials ▲ Security systems and equipment ▲ Communication systems and equipment ▲ Logistics procurement Items ▲Maritime rescue and rescue equipment ▲Maritime safety related products ▲Maritime patrol aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles ▲GPS, GIS and IT ▲Amphibious assault vehicles, tanks, self-propelled artillery ▲Inflatable boats (IBS) and high-speed boats (RIB) are introduced. Seminars and side events include ▲business meetings with overseas naval delegations ▲reception on board ships ▲seminars on ship technology and weapons systems ▲events to unveil ships ▲military band and honor guard performances.
