• ADD acquires acoustic sensing technology for unmanned submersible systems SEOUL -- South Korea's state defense technology development agency has developed acoustic sensing technology for unmanned submersible systems that can perform underwater monitoring, reconnaissance, and anti-submarine missions. Acoustic sensing can emulate a variety of signal-specific sensors by recovering the different types of sensor information directly from the sound. In a five-year study that began in 2017, the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) said it has produced a prot 25 October 2022
• [FOCUS] Russia deserves gratitude for arousing new orders for S. Korean weapons SEOUL -- Russia deserves gratitude from South Korean defense companies for providing a rare opportunity to acquire core technologies for advanced military equipment such as missiles and enhance the brand power of their products as seen in lucrative arms deals with Poland, which opted for the quick introduction of alternative weapons to fill up equipment shortages caused by the transfer of munitions to Ukraine and the delayed arrival of U.S. systems. Self-esteem grew among South Kore 21 October 2022
• First batch of S. Korean tanks and howitzers rolled out for delivery to Poland SEOUL -- The first batch of South Korean tanks and self-propelled howitzers was rolled out for delivery to Poland, just two months after the European country concluded an arms deal on the quick introduction of foreign weapons to fill up equipment shortages caused by the support of crucial munitions to Ukraine. Poland has signed basic deals with South Korea to acquire FA-50 light attack fighters, K2 tanks and K9 self-propelled howitzers. Hanwha Defense and Hyundai Rotem held separate 19 October 2022
• Hanwha Defense's multi-purpose unmanned ground vehicle chosen for U.S. performance tests SEOUL -- An advanced multi-purpose unmanned ground vehicle developed by Hanwha Defense, a South Korean defense company known for K9 self-propelled howitzers and infantry fighting vehicles, has been chosen for performance tests in the United States, paving the way for potential cooperation with the U.S. military’s future modernization programs. This is the first time that a South Korean unmanned weapon system has joined the U.S. Army’s competitive field test and evaluat 11 October 2022
• Deployment of advanced maritime surveillance radar set to begin in 2025 SEOUL -- The prototyping of a homemade maritime surveillance radar with significantly improved detection performance is set to begin for sequential deployment in 2025. It is essential for the offshore surveillance of ships in coastal areas and for sharing detected information with a military system. The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), a state body controlled by the defense ministry, aims to complete system development through evaluations by June 2024.

• ADD develops atomic spin gyroscope technology for navigation devices in weapons systems SEOUL -- South Korea's defense technology development agency has developed an atomic spin gyroscope that can be used for navigation devices in weapon systems. The prototype is a 350cc ice cream pint cup, but researchers aim to produce a micro-sized gyroscope with a volume of 50cc or less through additional technology improvement. A spinning wheel or disc known as gyroscope is a key element in controlled-moving systems, such as guided missiles, navigation, and altitude systems. 27 September 2022
