Cheongung-II multi-function radar simultaneously detects and tracks enemy fighters and ballistic missiles approaching from all directions. It integrates the roles previously performed by multiple radars into a single system. One radar unit handles complex missions including detection, tracking, identification of friend or foe (IFF), and electronic countermeasures (jamming).
The air defense coverage is also being expanded from low to high altitudes. Hanwha Systems has participated as a prototype manufacturer in the long-range multi-function radar development project led by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD). This radar enables early detection and destruction of high-altitude ballistic missiles flying in from long distances. It can also defend against long-range aircraft and long-range cruise missiles. The algorithms from the existing medium-range radar have been advanced, with improvements made to the ballistic missile search area, the number of simultaneous tracks, and electronic warfare countermeasure capabilities.
