[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sunmi] Hyundai Rotem is participating in a large-scale military culture expo held in Korea.

Hyundai Rotem announced on the 12th that it will participate in the ‘2022 Gyeryong World Military Culture Expo,’ held for 17 days from the 7th to the 23rd in Gyeryong, Chungnam.

Held under the theme of ‘K-Military, Harmony of Peace,’ this event aims to widely promote not only various military-related cultures such as world military band and honor guard concerts, Black Eagles flight demonstrations, and military training experiences, but also future defense industry technologies applied with advanced technology.

Hyundai Rotem plans to showcase its future technological capabilities in the defense sector to military officials and citizens at the 4th Industrial Convergence Hall, organized under the theme of ‘Meeting of Military and New Technologies.’ At the Hyundai Rotem booth, three types of the main product K2 tanks (Polish type, Norwegian type, Middle Eastern type) equipped with advanced protection technology, two types of armored vehicles (command post type, hydrogen fuel cell-based), and next-generation tanks and armored vehicles will be displayed as models to introduce the company’s ground weapon system capabilities and vision.

Additionally, as part of the future ground weapon system product lineup, Hyundai Rotem will showcase the Defense Drone, Korea’s first hydrogen fuel cell-based unmanned platform in the defense sector, a multi-purpose unmanned vehicle with electric drive, and the future ground platform DOSS.

The Defense Drone and multi-purpose unmanned vehicle are remote and unmanned operation products that can be equipped and operated with various equipment depending on the mission, and can be widely used for reconnaissance, surveillance, and fire support in future battlefield environments. DOSS is a transformable intelligent platform combining four robotic legs and wheels, capable of freely moving across rough terrain, and can be used not only for combat missions but also for civilian purposes such as firefighting and leisure activities.

In addition, the wearable robot VEX, designed to assist upper body strength during lifting tasks, will also be exhibited. VEX was selected as an excellent commercial product for pilot use by the Navy and Air Force in the first half of this year, laying the foundation for expanding its supply to future military power support systems.

A Hyundai Rotem official said, “This event will be an opportunity to actively promote our defense product lineup not only to defense industry stakeholders but also to the general public, thereby further enhancing corporate recognition. We will continue to do our best to strengthen future core technologies such as unmanned systems as well as existing products like tanks and armored vehicles through continuous research and development.”
