CMMI is an internationally recognized capability assessment model. It quantitatively analyzes and evaluates a company's management processes, assigning ratings from Level 1 to Level 5. Level 5 is the highest certification in terms of process quality and maturity.

With this certification, Hanwha Aerospace has been recognized for its management capabilities across the entire defense industry R&D process, from ground weapon systems such as the K9 self-propelled howitzer and long-range surface-to-air guided weapon systems (L-SAM), to energy storage systems (ESS) for submarines.

A Hanwha Aerospace official stated, "The quality of defense products is directly linked to national security, so a quantitative management system is even more significant than technological prowess. Building on the CMMI Version 3.0 Level 5 certification, we will further advance our R&D management system to be data-driven, establishing ourselves as a trusted global defense partner."
