The active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar developed jointly by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and defense contractor Hanwha Systems Co. for KF-21, South Korea's first homegrown fighter jet has received a interim combat compatibility certification, paving the way for mass production.

Hanwha Systems announced on Friday that KF-21 obtained on May 16 the interim combat compatibility certification, and its AESA radar also received the same assessment.

The interim combat compatibility certification is a procedure designed to simultaneously develop and mass-produce a weapon system that takes a long time from development to production, in order to rapidly deploy the system.

The AESA radar, developed by Hanwha Systems in collaboration with ADD, is a core equipment for future fighter jets that performs various missions such as detection and tracking of multiple airborne, ground and maritime targets, and support for close combat operations.
