Hanwha Aerospace and its U.S. subsidiary, Hanwha Defense USA, are set to showcase an impressive array of artillery and defense products at the upcoming Association of the U.S. Army's Annual Meeting & Exposition, happening from October 9 to 11 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

With the escalating demand for artillery driven by recent global events, Hanwha is poised to present cutting-edge ordnance and munitions designed to bolster the capabilities of the United States Army and Canadian Army, in line with NATO's mission to stabilize the global arms supply chain.

Key highlights from Hanwha's exhibit include:

K9 Self-Propelled Howitzer: Renowned for its firepower, mobility, and survivability, the K9 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer is the world's most widely used in its category. With the ability to engage targets at an impressive range and a growing presence in several nations, including plans for expansion in Australia and Egypt, the K9 is a force to be reckoned with.

Modular Charge System: Hanwha's 155mm Artillery Modular Charge System, compliant with NATO standards, boasts remarkable operational capabilities and a high rate of fire, all while burning cleanly upon ignition.

Ammunition Resupply Vehicle: The K56 Ammunition Resupply Vehicle is an innovative robotic unit designed to expedite the resupply process for projectiles and propellant, reducing crew fatigue and enhancing ammunition transfer efficiency.

TAipers: Originally designed for the Korean Army, TAipers has been adapted as a vehicle-launched surface-to-surface missile, offering enhanced offensive capabilities and combatant survivability.

120mm Self-Propelled Mortar Carrier: This vehicle-mounted 120mm mortar system outperforms traditional mortars, featuring automation and an advanced fire control system for quicker and more precise fire support.

BIHO Air Defense System: Combining a 30mm cannon with surface-to-air guided missiles, the BIHO system is a formidable short-range anti-aircraft weapon, providing superior tracking and targeting capabilities.

ARION-SMET UGV: The Arion-SMET is a versatile, fully electric 6x6 vehicle designed to support infantry operations with its impressive payload capacity and flexibility.

Hanwha's commitment to the United States and its partnership with NATO and other allied nations are evident through significant investments, local manufacturing, and collaborations. This commitment aligns seamlessly with the 70th anniversary of the US-ROK alliance, further solidifying Hanwha as a reliable and forward-thinking partner in various industries, including defense.

John Kelly, CEO of Hanwha Defense USA, emphasizes the company's dedication to the U.S. market, reaffirming their commitment to manufacturing locally in the United States to meet the evolving needs of their client countries. With a track record of swift and efficient delivery, as exemplified in their partnership with Poland, Hanwha is poised to continue its contributions to global defense and security.
