Munitions for Homar-K With Prospective Export Opportunities

Polish ammunition plants, which will produce rockets for the Chunmoo (Homar-K) system, are set to be established by 2029 as part of a joint venture between Poland’s WB Group and South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace, according to WB Group CEO Piotr Wojciechowski. He made the announcement during a press briefing at the company’s headquarters in Warsaw. The formal agreement for this collaboration was signed at the KADEX (Korea Army International Defense Industry Exhibition) on 2nd October, 2024. The entire project will be financed by WB Group’s own resources, though it will include „significant Korean contributions.” Bilateral negotiations are currently underway to finalize the details of the partnership, with an expected conclusion in June or July 2025.

CEO Wojciechowski added that by 2029, all necessary permits for production will be secured, a site will be selected, and the facility constructed. In addition to rocket production, the facility will focus on further development, with plans to establish a local design bureau. The ultimate goal is to gradually eliminate foreign components in the ammunition, ensuring full production independence.

According to current plans, „the Polish government will be one of the customers” for the munitions. This suggests that production or its components may also be intended for the Korean army or for export customers, such as European countries that choose to purchase the Chunmoo systems.
