Advanced electronic warfare protection technology
“The purpose of this cooperation with BAE Systems is to secure advanced electronic warfare protection technology to protect our guided weapon systems,” said Billy Boo-hwan Lee, the head of PGM Business Group of Hanwha Aerospace.
“Based on a technological advantage to counter electronic warfare threats, we will strengthen our position in the global market.”
The companies revealed that the new guidance system, developed through this collaboration, is expected to provide Hanwha’s Deep Strike Capability system with superior precision and operational reliability, even in highly contested electronic environments.
Deep Strike system provides multi-range rocket launch capability
The South Korean company’s Deep Strike Capability system provides a flexible, multi-caliber, and multi-range rocket launch capability, adaptable to diverse missions, from suppressing enemy fire support to neutralizing targets in complex environments.
Furthermore, its dual-launcher configuration allows the deployment of a wide range of guided rockets from a single platform, delivering superior firepower and operational flexibility, according to a press release.
Step strategically engineered to meet NATO interoperability requirements
This initiative is strategically engineered to meet NATO interoperability requirements, significantly enhancing the marketability of the system to European and other allied nations.
“Our collaboration with Hanwha will help give operators added versatility in the field when they need it most,” said Luke Bishop, Director of Navigation and Sensor Systems at BAE Systems.
“That versatility combined with our highly reliable military GPS products provides users with a product they can trust will work in the most contested environments.”
Deep Strike weapon provides precision-strike capabilities for modern warfare
Hanwha’s Deep Strike weapon provides precision-strike capabilities for modern warfare. Reports have highlighted that the system uses a dual-launcher configuration to fire a variety of guided rockets from a single platform, enhancing operational flexibility.
Recent advancements include integration with anti-jamming GPS technology and a partnership with BAE Systems to ensure NATO interoperability and strengthen its position in allied defense markets.
IGAS receiver utilizes 24-channel dual-frequency navigation
BAE Systems revealed that the IGAS receiver utilizes 24-channel dual-frequency all-in-view navigation, offering high-performance, GPS for tightly coupled GPS/INS (Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System) integrations. It is derived from the field-proven 12-channel NavStrike and Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) receivers.
IGAS is a small, low-cost, and highly reliable system that has been specifically designed to meet the mission needs of missile and munitions applications, according to the company.
