[Infostock Daily=Reporter Park Jeong-Do] Hyundai Wia announced on the 26th that it signed a contract with BAE Systems, a global defense industry, to supply up to $ 100 million worth of warship gun parts for 10 years.
As a result, up to 106 kinds of warship gun parts, including 5-inch trunnion support and levers, will be delivered to BAE for 10 years from 2022. BAE is the world's third-largest defense company to develop combat armored vehicles/ships and more.
Hyundai Wia's order is a system that the Defense Industry Agency introduced in accordance with the Trade Innovation Plan in 2018. It is a system that collects the data for cooperation cases of overseas companies and domestic companies and utilizes it for trade compromise in the future.
The Defense Industry Agency signed a contract with BAE last year and agreed to proceed with 'eclectic trade', which provides a certain amount of money when purchasing weapons from overseas companies.
It is interpreted that Hyundai Wia has achieved such a result because of the technology and trade trade accumulated by making direct guns for a long time. Hyundai Wia is producing its own 5-inch guns and 76mm guns, which are the main guns of the Navy.
Based on this order, Hyundai Wia plans to continue to discuss with BAE about the supply of various defense industry parts.
