SHIPS / NAVAL / DESTROYERS
During MADEX 2023, Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) revealed the latest design of the future KDDX. The shipbuilder is currently conducting the basic design of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy's next generation destroyer.
The lead ship of the KDDX program is considered a key asset for the future ROK Navy. Therefore, the KDDX model from HHI boasts major new technologies and functions that the ROK Navy has never integrated into their combat vessels before. With a displacement of 9,000 tons (full load, 6,500 tons light displacement), the KDDX aims to become the first indigenous destroyer constructed entirely with domestic technologies, including the hull, combat systems, multifunction radar, and various weapon systems.
