Hanwha Aerospace (012450.KS) is stepping up cooperation with the Republic of Korea Army to export its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) business overseas.<\/p>\n
Hanwha Aerospace said it participated in a defense industry communication meeting on civil-military MRO cooperation hosted by the Army Headquarters Logistics Staff on Wednesday at the Nine Tree Premier Rocaus Hotel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.<\/p>\n
This was the first Army-led meeting on civil-military MRO cooperation. Representatives from major defense companies attended, including Hanwha Systems (272210.KS), Hyundai Rotem (064350.KS), Hyundai WIA (011210.KS), LIG D&A (a unit of LIG Nex1 (079550.KS)) and Korea Aerospace Industries (047810.KS).<\/p>\n
At the meeting, the Army outlined its policy direction for MRO in response to a changing maintenance environment. The need for civil-military MRO cooperation is growing as Korea’s future troop strength shrinks from approximately 400,000 in 2025 to 300,000 by 2040, while weapons systems are rapidly becoming more advanced and complex.<\/p>\n
The Army is launching full-scale support for exporting the Korean MRO model. The plan is to apply the tentatively named “K-PBL (Korean Performance-Based Logistics),” a cooperative MRO framework between the Army and private companies built to safeguard national security, to overseas markets including Poland and the Middle East.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Army will establish a new field maintenance support center in the eastern region, supplementing the existing center in the western region. The Army and companies agreed to hold the meeting on a regular basis to deepen cooperation.<\/p>\n
“As defense exports increase, requests from foreign countries for operations and maintenance support are also rising,” a Hanwha Aerospace official said. “We will work to meet overseas demand and expand MRO exports through cooperation with the Army.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hanwha Aerospace (012450.KS) is stepping up cooperation with the Republic of Korea Army to export its maintenance, repair…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6106,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[5016,355,277,354,5014,5011,5013,5012,5015,5017],"class_list":["post-6105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hanwha-aerospace","tag-defense-export","tag-hanwha","tag-hanwha-aerospace","tag-hanwha-group","tag-k-pbl","tag-korean-army","tag-maintenance-repair-overhaul","tag-mro","tag-performance-based-logistics","tag-poland-defense"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6105\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
