Warsaw, 29 December 2025 – At the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw, the third executive contract was signed under the framework agreement concerning the acquisition by the Polish Armed Forces of Chunmoo multiple rocket launchers in the Polonized HOMAR-K configuration, developed in cooperation with the Polish defense industry, together with rocket ammunition.
The subject of the third executive contract, with a gross value of approximately PLN 14 billion, concluded between the State Treasury – the Armament Agency – and a consortium consisting of the joint-venture company – Hanwha WB Advanced Systems Sp. z o.o. (the consortium leader) and Hanwha Aerospace, is the delivery of thousands of CGR-080 precision-guided rockets with a range of 80 km. The rockets will be manufactured in the territory of the Republic of Poland at a production facility operated by the joint venture. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in 2030.
The agreement was signed by Major General Artur Kuptel, Head of the Armament Agency, Son Jae-il, President and CEO of Hanwha Aerospace, and Piotr Wojciechowski, President of the WB Group. The ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Secretary of State at the Ministry of National Defence Paweł Bejda, Chief of Staff to the President of the Republic of Korea Kang Hoon-sik, and First Deputy Director for National Security Kim Hyun-jong, Minister of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration Lee Young-cheol, and the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Poland, Tae Jun-yeol.
The conclusion of the third executive contract marks another stage in the implementation of the framework agreement covering the acquisition of the HOMAR-K system, which envisaged both the delivery of launchers and rocket ammunition. At the same time, it represents a breakthrough event enabling the launch of rocket production in Poland and the acquisition by the Polish defense industry of new technological and manufacturing capabilities. The transfer of technology and know-how will be carried out by the Korean side as part of a long-term industrial cooperation framework. The shareholders of Hanwha WB Advanced System are Hanwha Aerospace and WB Electronics.
The first executive contract under the framework agreement was signed on 4 November 2022 in Warsaw between the State Treasury – the Armament Agency – and Hanwha Aerospace. It covered the delivery of 218 multiple rocket launcher modules, their integration on Jelcz chassis, logistics and training packages, a stockpile of precision-guided ammunition with ranges of 80 km and 290 km, and technical support from the manufacturer.
The second executive contract was signed on 24 April 2024 and concerned the delivery of an additional 72 HOMAR-K multiple rocket launcher modules together with logistics and training packages, system integration, and the delivery of thousands of rockets with ranges of 80 km and 290 km.
The signing of the third executive contract confirms the highest quality of cooperation between Hanwha and the Polish industry in the execution of previously awarded contracts.
Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz thanked all those involved in bringing about the conclusion of another agreement under the Homar-K launcher acquisition programme. Addressing the representatives of the Korean government and Hanwha Aerospace, he added:
“Friends, Polish-Korean friendship is once again being confirmed through our mutual relations and agreements, as well as through very constructive talks and their culmination, which is today’s executive agreement within the Homar-K programme (…). We continue to acquire further systems by signing subsequent contracts, and today we are building something that has always been our ambition. We are also building production independence. We are bringing together a Polish and a Korean company, WB Electronics (…), with Hanwha Aerospace, a company known and respected by our allies.”
The Deputy Prime Minister also noted:
During his speech, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Hanwha Aerospace, Son Jae-il, said:
“This initiative represents far more than just a weapons system. It is a symbol of a lasting alliance and tangible defence capabilities of Poland and Korea. It reflects our readiness and determination to protect citizens and the freedom of the Republic of Poland. It is also a clear declaration that we stand shoulder to shoulder with Poland, one of the pillars of the North Atlantic Alliance. Hanwha is becoming an integral part of Poland’s defence industrial base and will continue to strengthen this partnership by delivering both enhanced security and tangible economic value to Poland.”
