Hanwha Systems Signs Contract for MCRC Performance Improvement Project
[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] Hanwha Systems has signed a contract for the 'Central Air Defense Control Center (MCRC) Performance Improvement Project.'
According to Hanwha Systems on the 24th, through this performance upgrade, the existing MCRC's functions and performance will be significantly enhanced to respond swiftly to changes in the operational environment of future airspace defense, and to overcome operational limitations caused by equipment aging. In particular, by applying cutting-edge hardware and software and securing interoperability with weapon systems planned for future deployment, the capability to respond to aerial threats is expected to be greatly strengthened.
The MCRC is the Air Force's core command and control center, monitoring the Korean Peninsula's airspace 24 hours a day, guiding friendly fighter aircraft missions, and serving as a key force in airspace defense by monitoring and controlling all aircraft flying over the Korean Peninsula.
Following the 2019 Korean Ballistic Missile Operational Control Center performance improvement project, aimed at defending against ballistic missiles threatening the Korean Peninsula, Hanwha Systems is expected to secure research and development capabilities for command and control centers addressing both aircraft and ballistic missiles threatening airspace defense by winning the current MCRC performance improvement project.
