Overview
- Norway’s defence agency signed the Jan. 30 contract for 16 Chunmoo launchers, precision‑guided rockets and integrated logistics support.
- Hanwha values its supply share at about US$922 million, while Norway budgets roughly 19 billion crowns (about US$2 billion) for the broader long‑range fires program.
- Hanwha casts the deal as a step toward a long‑term Nordic security role, building on Norway’s K9 howitzers and K10 resupply vehicles acquired since 2017.
- The company plans guided‑rocket production in Poland with deliveries beginning in 2030 to secure a stable European supply base.
- Analysts cite fast delivery and suitability for Arctic conditions as competitive advantages over new European MLRS development timelines.
