Hyundai Rotem Begins Deployment of Wheeled Command Post Vehicles to the Army

Delivery of 15 out of 27 Initial Mass Production Units

Hyundai Rotem has begun delivering wheeled command post vehicles to the Army. The wheeled command post vehicles were ordered from the Defense Acquisition Program Administration last year, with 15 out of the initial 27 production units delivered, and the remaining 12 units scheduled to be sequentially delivered to the Army by the 22nd.

The wheeled command post vehicle is a variant of the wheeled armored vehicle designed to support infantry units in mission execution, reconnaissance, and mobile strike operations. Equipped with network-based combat command system devices, real-time transmission and reception systems, and screens, it enables real-time sharing of battlefield information even while on the move, allowing for rapid and efficient unit command.

The wheeled command post vehicle features a positive pressure system capable of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) protection, and is equipped with run-flat tires that allow it to continue driving even when punctured. The run-flat tires are designed to maintain the vehicle's balance and weight support at high speeds even if the air pressure inside the tires decreases due to external impact.

Additionally, an automatic tire pressure control system is applied, which adjusts tire pressure according to road conditions such as regular roads and rough terrain, providing optimized driving performance. It is also equipped with a water propulsion device for river crossing, enabling it to carry out combat command missions in riverine terrains.

In June, Hyundai Rotem secured a second production contract for the wheeled command post vehicles from the Defense Acquisition Program Administration. Through timely delivery in the second production phase, Hyundai Rotem plans to contribute to enhancing the military’s command and control capabilities.
