South Korea's Hanwha Defense has unveiled a new unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) designed specifically for antisubmarine warfare (ASW) operations. The unmanned platform, named ASWUUV, was shown in public for the first time during the MADEX 2019 exhibition held in Busan in late October. The ASWUUV has been under development by the Korean Ministry of National Defense's (MND's) Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) since 2017. Work is expected to be completed by 2022, with trials scheduled for 2021.
