Hanwha is showcasing a wide-ranging portfolio of advanced defense technologies at Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2025, underlining its position as a global leader in next-generation defense solutions. At this year’s exhibition, the company is not only presenting its proven platforms, including the K9 family of self-propelled howitzers and the Mobile Command System (MCS), but is also highlighting its cutting-edge innovations in targeting networks and deep strike capabilities, reflecting its forward-looking approach to modern warfare.
The DSEI 2025 exhibition provides Hanwha with a platform to demonstrate its transformation into a truly multi-domestic defense partner. Rather than simply supplying systems from its home base, Hanwha emphasizes investing, producing, and sustaining capabilities within the nations of its customers. This approach ensures faster operational readiness, strengthens local defense industries, generates employment, and facilitates technology transfer — all crucial elements for countries aiming to enhance sovereign capabilities.
A prime example of this approach can be seen in Hanwha’s operations in Poland. There, the company rapidly delivered K9 self-propelled howitzers while simultaneously establishing an extensive partnership network with local industries. Beyond this, Hanwha supplied the Homar-K, a localized version of its deep strike system, showcasing the company’s ability to combine immediate operational readiness with long-term industrial benefits. Similarly, Hanwha’s programs in Australia, including the AS9 and AS10 initiatives, highlight how the company embeds industrial and technological benefits within allied economies while meeting urgent defense requirements. These programs exemplify Hanwha’s model of delivering high-performance defense solutions while simultaneously contributing to the development of local defense ecosystems.
“Customers today demand not only cutting-edge technology but also trusted partners who can enhance and reinforce their defense ecosystems,” said Michael Coulter, CEO of Hanwha Global Defense. “Our approach ensures we act with speed where it matters most, while simultaneously building sovereign capabilities alongside our partners. By producing locally and becoming an integral part of the industrial base, we help strengthen the security and resilience of allied nations.”
This dual focus on immediate operational readiness and long-term industrial collaboration is central to Hanwha’s strategy. By investing in local production and supply chains, the company provides governments with more than just defense platforms — it delivers economic growth, employment opportunities, and technological development within partner nations. This approach fosters trust and ensures that Hanwha’s contributions are both strategic and sustainable.
Ben Hudson, CEO of Hanwha Defence Australia and UK/Europe, added: “Hanwha is committed to bringing world-class technologies to the region as a true partner. Our mission is your future — we work alongside sovereign nations to deliver the capabilities required to meet evolving defense needs, while also supporting the growth of local defense industries. By partnering with countries on multiple levels, from production to long-term sustainment, we ensure that our solutions provide enduring strategic value.”
At DSEI 2025, Hanwha’s booth (Stand N10-270, South Korean Pavilion, Excel, London) offers attendees the opportunity to explore its full range of capabilities. The company is not only presenting its existing combat-proven systems but is also providing insights into the next generation of defense technologies, including integrated targeting networks, advanced firepower solutions, and deep strike systems. These innovations are designed to provide militaries with enhanced operational flexibility, precision, and lethality — all while supporting the broader goal of allied security.
Through its participation at DSEI 2025, Hanwha reaffirms its commitment to global defense partnerships, demonstrating that advanced technology, rapid delivery, and local industrial investment can coexist seamlessly. The company continues to expand its global footprint, delivering solutions that are as strategically impactful as they are technologically advanced, and ensuring that partner nations benefit from both immediate capability and sustainable industrial growth.
