Hanwha Aerospace has officially begun construction of a guided missile production plant for the "Cheonmu" system in Poland. This marks a key milestone in expanding its defense partnership, built through exports such as the K9 self-propelled howitzer and the multiple-launch guided missile Cheonmu, to local production.
On the 4th (local time), Hanwha Aerospace held the groundbreaking ceremony for the guided missile production plant of HWBAS, a joint venture established with Poland's WB Group, in Gniezno Wielkopolski, Poland. This facility will be Hanwha Aerospace's first guided missile production base outside of South Korea.
The plant, which is being built on a site of approximately 1.16 million square meters with a target completion date of 2028, is scheduled to produce guided missiles with a range of about 80 kilometers for the Polish version of Cheonmu, "Homar-K." Following the establishment of production equipment, technology transfer, and testing and certification, initial production is set to begin by the end of 2029, with full-scale mass production commencing in 2030.
A Hanwha Aerospace official, speaking by phone with this outlet, stated, "We aim to systematically strengthen our local production base through the establishment of local production processes and the cultivation of specialized talent, and to utilize it as a forward base for the European market."
