Hanwha Systems working on full unmanned AI-driven underwater system

Hanwha Systems Co. has been working on developing unmanned underwater lineup, including robots and vehicles for deep-water patrol and search operations.

Hanwha Systems invited local press to tour its research center in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province last Friday. At the event, it unveiled a naval combat management system along with its latest defense technologies including artificial intelligence-based combat simulator and unmanned underwater vehicle.

Hanwha Systems is a primary defense contractor of Korea and has supplied combat system solutions for Korean Navy over the last 40 years. Currently, it is in process to secure an order to build a combat solution, which is to be used in the Navy’s next-generation destroyer.
