| HPRS |
Hanwha Aerospace has unveiled a new 6x6 rocket launcher in Australia called the High-Performance Launch Rocket System (HPRS). This system is a single-container launcher, similar in configuration to the American M142 HIMARS, and is designed for easy deployment and high mobility. The HPRS is a lighter version of the K239 Chunmoo multiple launch rocket system, weighing less than 30 tons, and is equipped with four CTM-MR anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBM).
The HPRS platform was developed with a priority on fast transportation and firing capability, while maintaining compatibility with Chunmoo technology. This allows the HPRS to be used both on land and on ship platforms for artillery missions. The development of CTM-MR, a rocket integrated with HPRS, is in progress and is expected to be completed in 2027. The CTM-MR missile has an operational range of 50 to 160 kilometers and a circular probability error (CEP) of 9 meters.
The HPRS can be supplemented with other types of ammunition compatible with the Chunmoo system, such as CGR-80 guided missiles with a range of 30 to 80 kilometers. This makes HPRS a flexible system capable of adapting to various tasks and combat conditions.
Hanwha Aerospace has already had a successful cooperation experience with Australia, supplying weapons systems such as the AS9 Huntsman, AS10 and AS21 Redback. The introduction of HPRS in Australia is another step in expanding the company's portfolio in the Indo-Pacific region.
HPRS may be of interest to Southeast Asian countries, where mobility and versatility are a priority for maritime security. The HPRS system offers capabilities for both land-based and ship-based artillery operations, which meets the defense requirements of countries with extensive maritime borders.
