Hanwha Defence Australia, Hanwha Aerospace and Gilmour Space Technologies signed a three-way Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to leverage the experience and capabilities resident in all three parties.
As South Korea’s leading space solution provider, Hanwha Aerospace provides critical support across the nation’s space programs.
“The trust built through the agreements for K9 self-propelled howitzers and Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) serves as a strong foundation,” Sean Yim, Space Program Manager at Hanwha Aerospace said. “This will pave the way for enhanced cooperation between South Korea and Australia in the increasingly important space industry.”
Hanwha Defence Australia will explore with its parent company to expand its R&D and manufacturing footprint in the country.
“The MoU signed here today demonstrates our firm intention to place Hanwha Defence Australia in the space domain,” Acting Managing Director Hanwha Defence Australia Dean Michie said. “All three companies are at the cutting edge of their fields, and I look forward to working with our partners to bring together new and innovative capabilities.”
