Hanwha Aerospace partners with Polish defense institute for ammunition certification
SEOUL, Sept. 5 (Yonhap) -- Hanwha Aerospace Co. said Friday it has partnered with Poland's Military Institute of Armament Technology for quality certification of key components of the company's 155-millimeter ammunition produced in the Eastern European nation.
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the partnership with the institute, also referred to as WITU, was signed Thursday (local time) at MSPO 2025, an international defense industry exhibition in Kielce, Poland.
WITU, an agency under Poland's defense ministry, is responsible for testing, evaluating and certifying ammunition, warheads and other weapons systems.
Under the MOU, Hanwha Aerospace and WITU will cooperate on the joint certification of 155-mm ammunition components, as well as scientific and technical personnel exchanges, and potential joint research and development (R&D) projects.
The South Korean defense giant said the partnership will help secure local ammunition certification for the Polish military's self-propelled howitzers and lay the groundwork for establishing an ammunition production base in Europe.
Earlier this week, Hanwha Aerospace signed a deal with WB Group, Poland's largest defense company, to establish a joint venture to produce guided missiles for the Chunmoo multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) in the country.
