South Korea to locally develop combat system for RoKN's future KDDX destroyers

摘要

South Korea's Defense Project Promotion Committee approved on 27 April a project to locally develop and build a combat system for the Republic of Korea Navy's (RoKN's) six-ship Korea Destroyer Next Generation (KDDX) programme. In a statement issued that same day the country's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said the system will be used "for detecting and tracking ballistic missiles" as well as to help defend against ships, aerial, and land-based threats.
