The K9A1 Self-Propelled Howitzer fitted with a domestically-built 1,000-horsepower engine and the Long-Range Surface-to-Air (L-SAM) missile system are among the cutting-edge capabilities that Hanwha's aerospace and defence affiliates will showcase at the International Defense Exhibition (IDEX) 2025 at the ADNEC Exhibition Center, Abu Dhabi, UAE, from February 17-21,
The company's presence at the event is part of its strategy to improve its presence in the Middle East and African markets. The items being showcased include artillery systems, armored vehicles, a long-range ballistic interceptor system, and reconnaissance satellites.
K9A1's domestically-built engine has been tested intensively in South Korea, Egypt and other nations for a year to prove its reliability in different environments and territory.
The L-SAM missile system, which is being presented as an optimal solution for Middle Eastern countries seeking to enhance their air-defense network, is an upper tier air defence network interoperable with lower tier defence systems such as M-SAM and PAC-3. Hanwha Aerospace develops the L-SAM interceptor missile that is capable of thwarting incoming ballistic missiles at high altitudes, using sophisticated technologies including the dual-pulse propulsion system, and the divert & altitude control system. Mass production of the L-SAM is to begin this year for delivery to the ROK Air Force. An improved variant, the L-SAM II is also under development to be completed by 2028.
Hanwha Systems is responsible for the L-SAM multi-function radar (MFR), capable of detecting and tracking terminal-phase, high-altitude ballistic missiles and aircraft at long ranges. In the space domain, Hanwha Systems is set to present its latest small Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite, which can deliver 0.25m resolution images for various purposes including Earth observation, environmental monitoring, disaster prediction, and logistic analysis.
Also being showcased at the event is the Chunmoo MRLS, which has been developed to counter North Korea's long-range artillery threat. The K-239 Chunmoo MRLS is capable of real-time precision strikes on key targets from outside the enemy's artillery range. The capabilities of its Anti-Drone System, M-SAM Multi-Function Radar (MFR), Hybrid Short-Range Air Defense (H-SHORAD), TAiper (Tank Sniper) fifth-generation anti-tank guided missile, TIGON IFV, and the Redback infantry fighting vehicle will also be highlighted at the upcoming event.
"We're very excited to present our technology, capabilities and commitment to industrial partnerships at the IDEX 2025, as Hanwha is consistent with visions of customers in the region to quickly bring world-leading defence capabilities to militaries while supporting and accelerating local industrial bases through investment and localization efforts," said Michael Coulter, who has been named as President & CEO of Hanwha Global Defense. "A world-leading, multi-domestic defense leader, Hanwha is fully committed to providing all types of needed capabilities in all domains of land, sea, and aerospace to global customers."
