Hanwha Aerospace announced that it has officially been notified by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) of its selection as the contractor for the military multi-purpose unmanned vehicle project.

The Defense Acquisition Program Administration convened the Defense Industry Planning and Management Sub-committee to deliberate and approve Hanwha Aerospace's 'Arion-SMET' as the platform for the military multi-purpose unmanned vehicle project. Hanwha Aerospace demonstrated superior technical capabilities across various evaluation criteria in accordance with DAPA's fair standards and procedures.

Hanwha Aerospace is currently undertaking all projects related to the selection of this multi-purpose unmanned vehicle, which is considered a core component of 'Ami Tiger 4.0', including the development and deployment of unmanned reconnaissance vehicles, explosive detection and disposal robots, and hybrid manned-unmanned chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) reconnaissance vehicles.

In a phone interview with this newspaper, an official from Hanwha Aerospace stated, "We are fully aware of the heavy responsibility of setting the standard for future unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) deployment. We will perfectly complete our portfolio of hybrid manned-unmanned (MUM-T) systems that integrate with existing weapon platforms such as the K9 self-propelled howitzer and infantry fighting vehicles (IFV)."
