Hanwha plans two U.S. ship-based Chunmoo missile tests
Hanwha Aerospace plans two ship-based missile tests in the United States later this month.
The missiles will be fired from a vessel off the southern U.S. coast.
The tests will assess whether the land-based Chunmoo system can be adapted for naval use.
In April, Hanwha Defense USA and Florida-based Magnet Defense agreed to develop a containerized Chunmoo launcher for the H38 medium unmanned surface vessel.
The tests are part of efforts to put Chunmoo on ships, including unmanned vessels.
The results will help assess the system's suitability for shipboard deployment.
