According to local media reports on Thursday, Norway’s parliament gave final approval to a US$2 billion plan to procure a long-range artillery system. The export contract is believed to include 16 Chunmoo launchers and related equipment.
Industry watchers say Norway is likely to choose Hanwha Aerospace, as developing new multiple rocket systems in Europe can take considerable time, while Hanwha is seen as able to deliver more quickly.
Hanwha Aerospace recently set up a local production facility in Poland for Chunmoo guided missiles and is expected to begin deliveries as early as 2030. The Chunmoo’s range can be extended to up to 500 kilometers (311 miles), and the company is viewed as faster than rivals in delivering systems, giving it an edge in the competition.
If Hanwha wins the project, it would follow its entry into Poland late last year with a move into the Norwegian market.
