Hanwha Systems has commenced development on the 'Mounting Project of Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Observation Equipment' for South Korean Navy ships, following a contract signed in July with the Defense Agency for Technology and Quality. The project will involve the installation of navigation assistance EO/IR equipment on four vessels: one logistics support ship, two surface ship rescue ships, and one submarine rescue ship, improving navigational safety and mission effectiveness.
The installation will leverage Hanwha's 'Target Acquisition Designation System (TADS)' technology, facilitating enhanced command and control through real-time video transmission to command centers. Challenges include adapting existing ships that were not originally designed for EO/IR equipment, which may affect deployment timelines.
