Hanwha Group Chairman Kim Seung-youn has called for enhanced defense artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities at Hanwha Systems, the company's IT solutions division. Kim toured the Gumi plant in North Gyeongsang Province to examine the factory's production and testing of advanced defense equipment, emphasizing the importance of achieving "unparalleled defense AI capabilities" and maintaining a "safety-first" mindset.
During his visit, Kim inspected the assembly and testing of a multifunction radar for the Cheongung-II medium-range surface-to-air missile (M-SAM) system. This advanced radar technology is capable of detecting and tracking aircraft and missiles, identifying targets, and guiding interceptor missiles. The radar system has already been exported to countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq.
According to Chairman Kim, the Gumi facility has evolved into a crucial export center for Hanwha's defense business, serving as a hub for global market expansion and a center for technological innovation.
