Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and South Korea's Hanwha Systems have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to commercialise naval combat suites globally, with a focus on the Asia-Pacific market.
A spokesperson for Hanwha Systems told Janes on 15 February that the company will be responsible for supplying and integrating the combat management systems while IAI will provide the required weapons and sensors.
The spokesperson added that the two companies expect to strengthen their “marketing power by increasing market accessibility and [developing] competitive technological solution through a non-competitive strategic partnership”.
