South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace unveiled its latest innovation in defense technology at KADEX 2024: an amphibious unmanned multiple missile launcher.

This system marks a significant step forward in amphibious operations, offering increased flexibility and survivability for military forces operating in high-risk environments.

The light design of the launcher is one of its outstanding advantages, its weight is only 17 tons. This makes the missile launcher suitable for use on amphibious ships and transport ships, providing increased operational versatility. Conventional multiple-missile systems typically have a much heavier configuration, limiting their deployment in such scenarios.

The ability to launch the system unmanned is a critical improvement:

"By removing personnel from the launch area, we significantly increased survivability," the company said.

This unmanned approach ensures that the military can operate the system remotely, reducing risk to personnel in combat zones and enabling safer operations when landing amphibious ships or in contested areas.

Understanding the unique challenges associated with launching missiles from mobile offshore platforms, Hanwha has incorporated an advanced stabilization system. This patented technology compensates for ship motion, ensuring missiles stay on target even in rough seas:

“The Unmanned Amphibious Multiple Missile Launcher is more than just a product; this is a cardinal step in amphibious warfare," the company said. "This demonstrates our commitment to providing innovative, effective and reliable defense solutions that meet the changing needs of today's military operations."
