Hanwha Aerospace signs contract to produce Chunmoo missile in Poland

Hanwha Aerospace has signed an approximately $4 billion (PLN 14 billion) executive contract with the Polish Armament Agency on December 29 for the supply of Chunmoo CGR-080 guided missiles.

The contract, signed at the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw, marks the third executive agreement under the Homar-K framework. Notably, this contract was concluded between the Polish Armament Agency and a consortium led by Hanwha WB Advanced System, a joint venture established by Hanwha Aerospace and Poland’s WB Electronics.

The CGR-080 is a 239 mm caliber precision-guided missile featuring a range of 80 km and a CEP (Circular Error Probability) of 15 meters. Guided by a GPS/INS guidance system, these missiles will serve as the core ammunition for Poland’s Homar-K (Polish variant of the Chunmoo Multiple Rocket Launcher System).

“This contract is a milestone based on the trust between Hanwha and Poland,” said Jae-il Son, CEO and President of Hanwha Aerospace. “Hanwha will continue to cooperate with the Polish defense industry to provide security and economic value to Poland.”

The agreement was signed by Major General Artur Kuptel, Head of the Armament Agency, Jae-il Son, President and CEO of Hanwha Aerospace, and Piotr Wojciechowski, President of the WB Group. The ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Secretary of State at the Ministry of National Defence Paweł Bejda, a representative of the President of the Republic of Korea – Hoon-sik Kang, Chief of Staff to the President, Hyun-jong Kim, First Deputy Director for National Security, Young-cheol Lee, Minister of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, and Jun-yeol Tae, the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Poland.

Under this contract, the guided missiles will be manufactured at a dedicated production facility within Poland operated by Hanwha WB Advanced System. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in 2030.

This initiative involves technology transfer and aims to strengthen Poland’s defense capabilities by integrating local partners into the supply chain. The project is expected to create technical jobs and foster a sustainable defense ecosystem within Poland.

"Today’s agreement confirms our strong Polish-Korean friendship and fulfills our long-held ambition for production independence within the Homar-K program," said Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz. "By bringing together WB Electronics and Hanwha Aerospace, we are building a robust partnership with a trusted ally."
