Hanwha Aerospace Explores the Global Defense Market with Partner Companies

Visit to MSPO and HSW
Exploring Trends in AI and Unmanned Technologies

Hanwha Aerospace announced on September 5 that it had conducted a benchmarking program to analyze global defense market trends together with 33 member companies of its partner association, Sanghyeophoe.

The delegation visited the International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO 2025) in Poland on September 2, where they observed cutting-edge technologies such as defense artificial intelligence (AI) and unmanned systems. On September 4, they toured HSW, a state-owned defense company that manufactures the KRAB self-propelled howitzer, to review its business operations and production facilities. HSW had previously signed a 400 billion won component contract with Hanwha in April.

Hanwha Aerospace has continued initiatives to strengthen the competitiveness of its partner companies, including productivity improvement support and job training. Since last year, it has also operated a global benchmarking program to explore overseas markets together. Jo Junghyun, head of the Sanghyeophoe, stated, "After seeing overseas defense companies leading with advanced technologies such as AI, I realized that it is urgent for Korean companies to secure their own competitiveness."
