Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Delivers Upgraded Eulji Mundeok-Class Warship to Navy
[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] The performance-upgraded Korean Destroyer eulji Mundeok (KDX-I) will be delivered to the Navy. The Korean Destroyer (KDX-I) performance upgrade project has been replacing the outdated combat systems and sensors of three Korean destroyers since September 2016.
According to Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering on the 28th, the 3,200-ton class destroyer eulji Mundeok, which serves as the fleet command ship in the waters, has completed its performance upgrade and will be redeployed to active duty.
To enhance submarine countermeasure capabilities, eulji Mundeok replaced its 'Towed Array Sonar System (TASS)' with the latest model, significantly improving underwater target detection and tracking performance. TASS is a low-frequency passive acoustic detection system used on ships to detect, identify, and track enemy submarines.
