Hanwha Aerospace has broken ground on a guided rocket manufacturing plant in Poland, marking its first such facility in Europe. The company unveiled the project alongside its joint venture, Hanwha WB Advanced Systems, during a groundbreaking ceremony in Gorzow Wielkopolski, western Poland. Scheduled for completion in 2028, the plant will produce CGR-080 guided rockets for the HOMAR-K, a Polish version of Hanwha's Chunmoo multiple rocket launcher system (MLRS).
The first batch of rockets is set to be rolled out in late 2029, with full-scale production beginning in 2030. Hanwha Aerospace holds a 51% stake in the joint venture, while Poland's WB Electronics owns the remaining 49%. The Armament Agency of Poland has contracted the joint venture to produce and supply the guided rockets, with Hanwha Aerospace responsible for transferring the necessary manufacturing technology to HWBAS.
