Hanwha Systems Signs Contract for Key Production and Procurement Project of Combat MFR
[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter]Hanwha Systems announced on the 3rd that it has signed contracts for the production and procurement of the ‘Real-time Verification Device Production’ and ‘Antenna Device and Stand Assembly Production’ projects, which are part of the preliminary core research project for the Engagement Multifunction Radar (MFR) led by the Agency for Defense Development. The project scale is approximately 16 billion KRW and is planned to be completed by the first half of 2023.
The ‘Real-time Verification Device Production’ project involves manufacturing target simulation devices and signal/data processing devices for designated targets, while the ‘Antenna Device and Stand Assembly Production’ project involves producing radar module assemblies and antenna devices, which are core components of the MFR.
Since Hanwha Systems already has experience in developing software for the Engagement MFR, it plans to actively utilize this experience in producing the ‘Real-time Verification Device’ that implements and verifies the core algorithm software of the MFR.
Additionally, by applying technology accumulated through similar projects, the company expects to produce the ‘Antenna Device and Stand Assembly’ with guaranteed reliability. Hanwha Systems has previously developed and manufactured the transmit/receive module (TRM) for the Korean Fighter Jet (KF-21) AESA radar and the digital transmit/receive block (DTRB) for the next-generation frigate (FFX-Batch III) MFR.
