새로 공개된 한화 "40mm 차륜형" 방공체계 — 천무 차량 통합 모듈형, 드론·무인기 요격

Hanwha Aerospace unveiled a mockup of a 40mm unmanned wheeled air defense system at the Daejeon Defense Exhibition. The concept involves modularly integrating the 40mm twin-barreled autocannon of the Nobong CIWS, currently operated by the Navy on warships, into the rear of the Chunmoo multiple launch vehicle; it is analyzed to follow the modular design of the German AGM remote turret. When equipped with AHEAD composite ammunition, it is capable of intercepting Shahed-class UAVs and swarm drones with an effective range of 4km and a rate of fire exceeding 600 rounds per minute. Furthermore, due to its modular separation and reassembly structure, it is expected to be integrated and operated regardless of the platform, as long as it is a tactical truck capable of handling a load of over 15 tons. Development is scheduled to proceed until mid-2027 as part of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration's Rapid Demonstration Acquisition program. 📌 Key Details Base Weapon: Navy Nobong CIWS 40mm Twin-barreled Autocannon (380 rounds per side, total capacity over 750 rounds) Platform: Integrated rear module of the Chunmoo 8×8 Tactical Vehicle — Designed for compatibility with other tactical trucks Ammunition Type: Expected to use AHEAD composite rounds — Tungsten fragmentation dispersion within a 10m radius Range: Effective 4km (Long range compared to 20mm Vulcan) / Rate of fire over 600 rounds/minute Development Schedule: Defense Acquisition Program Administration Rapid Demonstration Acquisition Project, targeting mid-2027 / Designed with export in mind 📰 Source: CherryTube Script 자체분석 (Self-analysis)
