This propulsion system will greatly enhance the ASWUUV’s capabilities.
“The company has already completed initial research on the system. With the next phase set to begin in the 2023-2024 timeframe, we are confident we can deliver the technology before 2030.”
According to Hyun, the ASWUUV will have a range of up to one month if it uses hydrogen fuel cells. The Agency for Defense Development successfully tested the ASWUUV earlier this year in June. The ROKN has not yet made a decision about which propulsion system the ASWUUV will use.
