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

In a statement from Hanwha Aerospace, said that this system is a significant step forward in amphibious operations, offering enhanced flexibility and survivability for military forces operating in high-risk environments.. The launcher’s lightweight design is one of its standout advantages, weighing just 17 tons. This makes it deployable on amphibious assault ships and transport vessels, providing increased operational versatility. Conventional multi-rocket systems typically come with far heavier configurations, which limit their deployability in such scenarios.

The system’s unmanned launch capability is a critical enhancement. “By removing personnel from the launch area, we’ve dramatically improved survivability,” the company stated. This unmanned approach ensures that military forces can operate the system remotely, reducing the risk to personnel in combat zones and allowing for safer operations during amphibious landings or in contested areas.

Recognizing the unique challenges posed by launching rockets from moving naval platforms, Hanwha has incorporated an advanced stabilization system. This proprietary technology compensates for ship movement, ensuring that rockets stay on target even in rough sea conditions. “We’ve integrated a system that keeps rockets on target despite wave action, ensuring pinpoint accuracy even in the most demanding maritime environments,” the statement added.

“The Unmanned Amphibious Multi-Rocket Launcher is more than just a product; it’s a game-changer in amphibious warfare,” the company said. “It showcases our dedication to providing innovative, efficient, and reliable defense solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern military operations.”
