In addition, we are contributing to laying the foundation for future growth of the domestic defense industry by continuously researching and developing new technologies for advanced defense weapon systems.
This exhibition attracted attention by introducing Gangnam’s company and displaying a ‘Sweeping & Hunting Craft’ model that boasts the accumulated technology of FRP ships.
An official said, “The minesweeper is a new type of minesweeper, and is the latest minesweeper developed with our company’s pure technology from the basic design in 1993 to construction in 1999. Equipped with search and minesweeping functions, it can not only improve its ability to carry out anti-mine warfare operations, but also effectively respond to maritime operations to ensure the safety of major ports and maritime traffic routes,” he said. “In addition, this ship is capable of searching for mines in shallow and deep seas.” “It is equipped with various possible equipment, so it has improved performance and power compared to existing ships, and at the same time, it has proven excellent performance through ‘real-line impact tests’ and test evaluation results.”
