Hanwha Aerospace has unveiled an unmanned multi-rocket launcher system designed for amphibious operations at the Korea Army International Defense Exhibition (KADEX) 2024.

The Unmanned Amphibious Multi-Rocket Launcher is designed to deliver precise fire support with minimal manpower.

It enables the deployment of rocket artillery in previously unreachable areas, particularly during distributed operations.

Key Features

Weighing approximately 17 tons, the system is deployable on amphibious assault ships and transport vessels. Its advanced stabilization system compensates for ship movement, ensuring accurate targeting even in choppy waters.

Finally, its unmanned launch system enhances crew survivability, particularly in high-risk zones.

“The Unmanned Amphibious Multi-Rocket Launcher is more than just a product; it’s a game-changer in amphibious warfare,” the South Korean defense giant stated.

“It exemplifies our dedication to providing innovative, efficient, and reliable defense solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern military operations.”

Operational by 2033

The system is reportedly compatible with the existing Chunmoo Multiple Launch Rocket System pods, allowing the deployment of a range of missiles and rockets.

Development is expected to continue through 2026, including the integration of electronic launch technology to extend its range and enhance the variety of deployable munitions.

The system is projected to become fully operational by 2033.
