Presented at KADEX 2024, the vehicle would weigh just 17 tons, much lighter than conventional multi-rocket launchers, and is designed for deployment from amphibious assault ships and transport vessels.
With an advanced stabilization system, it’s designed to compensate for ship movement, ensuring precision even in rough seas.
“By removing personnel from the launch area, we’ve dramatically improved survivability. This unmanned approach allows for safer operations in high-risk scenarios,” Hanwha wrote in a Linkedin post.
This unmanned system can fire rockets from areas previously unreachable, enhancing its capabilities in distributed operations and counter-battery missions. Most crucially, its autonomous nature maximizes crew safety by removing personnel from the launch area.
This missile launcher was one of several cutting-edge technologies revealed by Hanwha, including the K9 Self-Propelled Howitzer variants and the Ghost Commander unmanned command ship.
The system is set to be fully operational by 2033. Development will continue through 2026, with plans to integrate electronic launch technology to extend its range and munitions options.
