South Korea's Hanwha Systems Co. announced on Wednesday that it has been selected as the preferred bidder for the Air-to-Ground Communication Radio Performance Enhancement Project, organized by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), with a budget of 95.8 billion won ($72.6 million).

The performance enhancement of air-to-ground communication radios aims to equip the Army, Navy and Air Force with proven next-generation radios by 2028 to effectively counter rapidly evolving jamming technologies in wireless communications.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries, primarily the United States, are transitioning to the Second Generation Antijam Tactical UHF Radio for NATO (SATURN) radios as part of their equipment modernization and security enhancement policies.

The adoption of SATURN radios, which are identical to the ones used by the NATO allied forces, is expected to reduce the risk of confusion between friendly and enemy forces and enhance the interoperability and operational capabilities of joint South Korea-US military operations.

Hanwha Systems plans to undertake the integration, installation and production of SATURN radio systems, promote domestic production through technology transfer and establish inspection and testing equipment while collaborating with domestic and international companies.
