Hanwha Aerospace has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Akkodis Nordics, a Norway-based company in digital engineering and solutions at the Seoul International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition (ADEX) 2025. This agreement establishes a partnership to jointly develop a state-of-the-art simulator for the Chunmoo Multiple Rocket Launcher System (MRLS).
This strategic partnership is a key step in Hanwha Aerospace’s commitment to the Norwegian market, demonstrating a strong intent to foster local industry collaboration. The co-development of a high-fidelity simulator with a renowned Norwegian company like Akkodis will ensure that the training solution for the Chunmoo system is tailored to the specific operational needs and requirements of the Norwegian Armed Forces.
The Chunmoo is a next-generation precision guided missile system capable of neutralizing key enemy targets from a safe distance, beyond the reach of conventional artillery. Using GPS/INS-guided missiles, it boasts pinpoint accuracy for high-precision strikes. Its launcher provides overwhelming firepower by carrying two different types of rocket pods simultaneously, more than doubling the firepower of competing systems in a single mission.
Billy Boo-hwan Lee said, “We are delighted to partner with Akkodis to offer a more advanced and comprehensive Chunmoo solution for Norway.” He added, “We are fully committed to contributing to the enhancement of Norway’s defense capabilities through active partnerships with local Norwegian enterprises.”
“Partnering with Hanwha Aerospace allows us to bring our digital engineering and edge technology expertise into a project of true strategic importance,” said Sebastian Eidem, Vice President of Operations at Akkodis Nordics. “Together, we aim to set a new benchmark for simulator development — combining realism, safety, and advanced technology to support the Norwegian Armed Forces.”
With this MOU, Akkodis Nordics and Hanwha Aerospace join forces to drive innovation and deliver advanced technological solutions in support of the Norwegian Armed Forces.
