Top Official Reviews Manufacturing Capabilities For Artillery Systems
The US Army’s top acquisition official, Brent Ingraham, visited Hanwha Aerospace’s defense production sites in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, to review the company’s manufacturing capabilities for artillery, rocket systems, and other land-based defense platforms. The visit followed Hanwha’s recent deal to supply six prototype systems for the Mobile Tactical Cannon program. The company is pursuing a phased localization strategy to expand US-based production and support for its K9MH system, a version of the K9 tailored for the US Army. This development was first reported by The Korea Times.
