Hanwha Systems Launches Development of Next-Generation Tactical Communication System

Goal of Vehicle and Drone-Mounted System Using 5G Mobile Communication

[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] Hanwha Systems is embarking on the development of a military tactical communication system using 5th generation (5G) mobile communication. It is expected to enable large-capacity information exchange regardless of location, as it can be mounted on vehicles and drones.

According to Hanwha Systems on the 14th, the "Hyperconnected Mobile Distributed Tactical Communication System" will be developed by 2026 with an investment of 40 billion KRW. The goal is to develop ▲tactical mobile base stations ▲aerial relay drone systems ▲tactical communication terminals based on 5G.

The tactical communication system will include a mobile command and control communication system mounted on vehicles, tactical communication terminals and modems, and an aerial relay drone system mounted on drones.

Currently, our military uses the Tactical Information Communication Network (TICN). By 2025, TICN is planned to be fully operational across the Army, Navy, and Air Force, while simultaneously establishing the Mobile Integrated Communication System (TICN-II) that aligns with the Army’s future combat system. The tactical communication system is expected to be utilized in TICN-II once developed.

An industry official stated, "The Hyperconnected Mobile Distributed Tactical Communication System possesses networking capabilities that allow distributed and independent operation without interruption anytime and anywhere, and based on artificial intelligence, it can smoothly transmit and receive large-capacity information."
