Saab signs Memorandum of Understanding with Hanwha Aerospace
Saab has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hanwha Aerospace for the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB).
The MOU aims to investigate possibilities to integrate GLSDB into the rocket artillery launcher Chunmoo manufactured by Hanwha Aerospace.
“With this agreement we are excited to explore how we can bring the long-range precision of GLSDB to current and future users of the Chunmoo launcher. Together these would mean even more great capability is available to those who want a strike capability unmatched by traditional rocket or gun artillery,” says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab’s business area Dynamics.
GLSDB is a long-range precision munition that can defeat targets more than 150 km away. Together with Boeing, Saab has developed GLSDB from the air launched Small Diameter Bomb (SDB). GLSDB uses the capabilities of SDB and adds the ability to launch it from ground.
