Hanwha Aerospace, Hanwha System, and Hanwha Ocean will participate in 'FIDAE 2026, the largest defense exhibition in Latin America.

Hanwha plans to present an integrated defense solution that encompasses land, sea, air, and space. Key products such as wheel-type armored vehicles Tygon, K9 self-propelled artillery, SAR satellites, and Jang Bo-go submarines will be introduced in Latin America to target the market in earnest.

Hanwha will participate in the FIDAE 2026 (Chile International Aerospace Expo) in Santiago, Chile, from the 7th to the 12th (local time). FIDAE is the largest defense exhibition in Latin America held every other year, and 440 companies from 35 countries will participate in this exhibition.

Hanwha Aerospace will introduce the TIGON, a wheel-type armored vehicle, for the first time in Chile. The Tygon on display this time is a 6x6 version with six wheels and six axes, and each wheel can be independently driven and controlled. On the road, it is possible to protect against bullets and landmines along with stable driving like ordinary vehicles. In addition, Tygon can be equipped with various equipment such as remote shooting control (RCWS), maximizing actual operation efficiency.

In addition, Hanwha Aerospace will also showcase its ground system integrated operation capabilities, including the "Global Best Seller" K9A1 self-propelled artillery and K10 ammunition carriers, multiple advanced guided missiles, next-generation infantry fighting armored vehicles (K-NIFV), and next-generation anti-tank guided weapons.

Hanwha System displays small SAR satellites that can be observed at 25cm resolution regardless of day, night and weather conditions. By combining Hanwha's own AI satellite image analysis solution with satellite data, the speed and accuracy of tactical decision-making have been increased. It will also unveil a 'Smart Battleship' solution. Smart Battleship, equipped with stealth design, AI-based intelligent combat system, and Cockpit-type integrated bridge system (IBS), integrated command and control functions in the maritime operation environment in Daedong Station.

Hanwha Ocean will display 3,000-ton Jang Bogo-III (KSS-III Batch-II), 2000-ton submarines (OCIAN 2000), and 4,000-ton and 5,600-ton frigates. OCEAN 2000 is an optimized platform for the South American operational environment, and KSS-III is a diesel submarine capable of SLBM operation. It also emphasizes technology and delivery competitiveness through the 5,600-ton frigate with the latest technology and the verified 4,000-ton frigate. Through this exhibition, we plan to actively propose marine solutions to the Chilean Navy modernization project.

An official from Hanwha who spoke to this newspaper by phone said, "We will continue to contribute to the contribution of South America's defense capabilities, including Chile, and to the creation of a defense ecosystem."
