Space
As Korea’s aerospace pioneer, we’re enhancing connectivity
on Earth and beyond to power the new space era
As the first private aerospace company heading joint projects to develop innovative proprietary technology, Hanwha is leading Korea into the global
ranks for the next phase of the space era. We are building a complete space value chain, including the manufacture of space launch vehicles and
satellites. We played a key role in the successful third launch of the Korean launch vehicle Nuri in 2023 and were selected as the system integrator for
Korea’s next-generation space launch vehicle program.
Our satellite capabilities include the development of small synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, which can monitor changes in the same location
regardless of time or weather. Hanwha also owns small hyperspectral satellite technologies and is advancing tailored satellite solutions through Satrec
Initiative, which successfully launched the ultra-high-resolution SpaceEye-T satellite in 2025.
By developing Earth observation (EO) satellites and integrating their data with AI technology, Hanwha seeks to provide insights for a wide range of
sectors including defense, weather and disaster monitoring, land management, and the maritime industry — predicting changes for the benefit of
humanity and the planet.

Aviation
As a trusted manufacturer of aircraft engines, components,
and future mobility, our quality and reliability set us apart
Over the past 40 years, Hanwha has produced over 10,000 engines for helicopters, naval vessels, guided weapons, and fighter jets.
In 2024, Hanwha Aerospace signed a contract with Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) to supply aircraft engines for the initial
mass production of the KF-21 fighter jet.
Through ongoing technological innovation, we are leading the aerospace engine industry in Korea as one of the world’s top aircraft engine
manufacturers, working closely with global aviation engine companies such as Pratt & Whitney, GE, and Rolls-Royce.
Beyond this, Hanwha is also advancing its role in the industry through the development of engines and systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

Defense
As a provider of next-generation global total defense solutions,
we’re keeping nations safe
Hanwha is advancing integrated defense systems across land, air, sea, cyber, and space. Our land portfolio is anchored by the K9 self-propelled
howitzer, which holds the No. 1 global market share, and includes precision-guided munitions and multiple rocket launchers. Through advanced
electronics and ICT, we support joint operations between the Army, Navy, and Air Force with new technologies and innovative solutions.
In the naval sector, Hanwha is enhancing global competitiveness through submarine and surface vessel construction, as well as maintenance, repair,
and overhaul (MRO) services. In 2024, Hanwha’s Geoje shipyard became the first in Korea to secure two MRO contracts with the U.S. Navy, servicing
logistics support vessels including the USNS Wally Schirra, and reinforcing its role in naval operations and fleet sustainment. That same year, Hanwha
acquired the U.S.-based Philly Shipyard, relaunching it as Hanwha Philly Shipyard and establishing a strategic foothold for entry into the U.S. naval
shipbuilding market.
