SNT Dynamics will participate in the international amphibious operations symposium PALS (Pacific Amphibious Leaders Symposium) Seoul 2024 to showcase its state-of-the-art defense products for amphibious operations.
According to SNT Dynamics on the 31st, PALS is a multilateral security forum first held in the United States in 2015 by the United States Marine Forces Pacific (MARFORPAC).

This year's PALS will take place from June 3 to 5 at the 2nd Marine Division in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province.
This forum is hosted annually by participating countries on a rotating basis to explore ways for the United States' allies and friendly nations with amphibious forces in the Indo-Pacific region to contribute to regional security. The Republic of Korea Marine Corps will host the event for the second time, following 2017.

At this symposium, SNT Dynamics will exhibit the actual model of its 120mm mortar system mounted on a Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV), developed for Marine Corps amphibious operations.
This weapon system retains the advantages of the existing 120mm mortar while adding superior amphibious mobility and firepower.
In particular, it is expected to play a key role in defending coastlines and supporting various amphibious operations, as it can be operated stably and swiftly even in coastal areas.
An SNT Dynamics representative stated, "Through participation in PALS Seoul 2024, we will actively promote the excellence of SNT Dynamics' core defense products to U.S. defense officials, including those from the United States Marine Forces Pacific," adding, "We will proactively pursue the expansion of SNT Dynamics' cutting-edge defense products into the U.S. and other global high-end defense markets."
