Hanwha Aerospace has decided to conduct a naval firing test for its "Cheonmu" system.

Hanwha Aerospace and Defense USA (HDUSA) have agreed to carry out two Cheonmu guided missile firing tests from vessels off the southern U.S. coast this year.

The test is an attempt to expand the platform of Cheonmu, a surface-to-surface system, so that it can be operated from naval vessels as well.

In April, HDUSA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Magnet Defense, a U.S. medium unmanned surface vessel (MUSV) manufacturer, for the joint development of the MUSV "H38." The company is also pushing to apply a container-mounted Cheonmu launcher to the H38.

A Hanwha Aerospace official, speaking by phone with this outlet, said, "We will actively respond to U.S. defense demand and build an integrated solution that covers not only manned and unmanned ship packages but also land-based defense systems such as self-propelled howitzers and ammunition."

Meanwhile, HDUSA last month secured a contract from shipbuilding management company Tott Service for one medium landing ship (LSM) for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, valued at $269 million.
