# Hanwha Tests Chunmoo Rockets off Florida

Hanwha Aerospace and its U.S. subsidiary plan two ship-based firing tests of Chunmoo guided rockets from an unmanned surface vessel off the southern U.S. coast later in November 2026; exact dates have not been announced. The demonstration may show how the launcher could support U.S. naval applications. Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Defense USA are also identified as participants in development of a medium unmanned surface vessel with a container-mounted Chunmoo launcher. No government solicitation, contract award, or funding value is reported, so this is a capability signal rather than a current procurement opportunity.

- The tests could provide procurement teams and defense contractors with an early indication of interest in combining guided rocket systems with unmanned maritime platforms.
- Companies can assess the demonstrated configuration against their maritime, launcher-integration, and unmanned-vessel capabilities; the source does not identify a specific requirement or acquisition timeline.
- The reported April MOU concerns joint development of the medium unmanned surface vessel; its year and any associated funding are not specified.
