Hanwha Systems announced on October 21 that it will sign a business agreement with Israel's leading defense companies, Elta Systems and Elbit Systems, to seek technical cooperation and export, respectively, during Seoul ADEX 2021.
Hanwha Systems signed a business agreement with Elta Systems to export Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars.
Through this agreement, Hanwha Systems plans to export AESA radars for aircraft in the global market by integrating Hanwha Systems' AESA radar antenna and power supply with Elta's radar signal processor.
Hanwha Systems is developing the AESA radar, which is called the eyes of Korean fighters.
By applying a gallium nitride (GaN)-based material to the TRM, which is a key component of AESA radar, the size is smaller, the output is higher, and the calorific value is lowered, and the radar efficiency is greatly improved.
On October 19, Hanwha Systems signed a business agreement with Elbit Systems for mutual cooperation in the UAM and avionics fields.
Through the agreement, the company plans to actively discover areas of cooperation that can create synergy not only in the military but also in the private industry.
Elbit Systems is Israel's representative private defense company that is recognized for its top-notch technological prowess in the development, system integration, and performance improvement of various avionics equipment.
Hanwha Systems expects that Elbit Systems, which develops and supplies essential sensors for flight safety of aircraft and enemy attack response, evasion, and penetration maneuvers, and the city air mobility and defense aviation fields have unlimited potential for mutual cooperation.
