Hanwha Aerospace has broken ground on a guided rocket manufacturing plant in Poland, marking its first such facility in Europe. The Korean defense company and its joint venture, Hanwha WB Advanced Systems, held a groundbreaking ceremony in Gorzow Wielkopolski, western Poland. The plant, set to complete in 2028, will produce CGR-080 guided rockets for the Polish version of Hanwha's Chunmoo MLRS.
The first batch production is planned for late 2029, with full-scale manufacturing beginning in 2030. HWBAS, established in September 2025 with a 49 percent stake owned by Poland's WB Electronics, has contracted with Poland's Armament Agency to supply and produce CGR-080 guided rockets, transferring manufacturing technology to Hanwha Aerospace.
